Matt has had his 8th physical therapy session with Spencer and what progress.  Spencer has  Matt going a full 3 hour session and for the 2nd session now has Matt sitting up on his own hands off!  Once Matt gets comfortable with it which takes a couple of minutes, Matt sits completely on his own while we stand back and watch.  He also has Matt standing straight up leaning on a lower back support and holding on to Spencers shoulders, head straight up on his own.  This goes on for about 5-10 minutes at a time.  Today Spencer had Matt standing 3 times while Matt just looks around and we point out artwork andhave Matt track whatever we are using to grab his attention, usually photos, Lisa or more artwork.  It’s an amazing thing to watch especially when you consider Spencer has only been working with Matt the past 3 weeks.  Lisa andI have been real busy, I’ve been busy with the business getting the cash flow back up so I’m not around every session but I hear what is happening when I’m not there and then when I see it I realize that this is the right thing and this momentum we have to keep it going aggressively.  That’s exactly what we are doing now.  I am rigging up more equipment to get Matt standing for longer periods of time on his own.  We all see with each time this happens it gets easier for Matt and it opens up even more that he can do.  Lindsey has her hands full with organizing the upcoming October 4th Golf Tournament and is looking for volunteers to help her on the course.  If anyone has the time please contact Lindsey at: Lrsmith31@yahoo.com

Thanks,

Mario
