Matt began therapy at Sharpe Rehab January 5th.  It’s been going pretty good.  Yesterday Lisa and Joan to Matt in for p/t & o/t.  The physical therapist Matt had was a different one than he has had in the past and she was really into Matt.  She had him on a bike pedaling for 16 minutes on his own.  Matt would slow down a bit and they tell him to speed up and Lisa said he just went for it!  By the time he was done he had worked up a sweat.  Matt was also approved Monday by Kaiser withabout an hour of wrangling with the Kaiser speech therapist who finally admitted she was out of her “field of expertise”.  I recieved a phone call from Kaiser that Matt was refered back to Sharpe for 8 weeks of speech therapy.  We were contacted the next day by Sharpe and Matt will have Lance who we had met with one time and were really impressed by his approach and recommendations.  That will all start on Monday the 12th of January.  Matt is also being seen by an associatetherapist this month while Spencer is in China with his mentor Waleed teaching their physical therapy technique.  Lisa was working with Matt at home today with playing cards, domino’s and other things and started messing with Matt’s hat putting it on herself.  She asked Matt if he would put it on himself, he reached out and took the hat from her and put it on his own head.  It was so cool.  That’s it for now, will keep you posted.

Cheers
