Pat’s Progress

Well once again the leaves are changing colors and the crisp cool air is here. Hard to believe another season has passed us by and we are going into another. I am happy to announce our new additions have arrived! Thanks to Bill (Pat’s Dad) for driving down to PA to pick Fred and Sara up. They have been with us a total of 3 weeks and already have worked their way into our hearts. They went to there first vet visit 2 weeks ago and Fred weighed in at 25 pounds and Sara was 24 pounds, they go again Wed and I can see they have grown already so it will be interesting to see the weight change. We start “puppy kindergarten” this weekend, they’ll probably be the biggest puppies in the class. Here are some pics of Pat and the kids.

Pat’s doing well at Journey Forward, small gains everyday. They received a new piece of equipment, it is an attachment o the FES Bike but it works the arms instead of the legs, studies have shown that it has some significant impact in the recovery of SCI injuries so say your prayers that it will make a difference with Pat. What an FES does is send electrical current through the muscles causing the to contract making you pedal the bike.

Well Thank you for checking in and if you fill like coming to visit we are always looking for company just give us a call to make sure we’ll be home.
