Dear Dance Family and Friends,

 

Our grandson, Stephen, was finally moved to a rehab hospital in Inglewood, CO, and is working like crazy to be able to get back to his 'new job'.  The 'boss' said he would hold a place for when he is ready.

Well, that is still a dream, but a good goal.

The electronic wheelchair belonged to the hospital so now Stephen uses a regular one, and works his arms to get around - very good therapy.  He is also standing at a bar and taking a few steps.  He has a soft brace on his left lower leg but no other braces or casts are left.

His schedule is 1 hr of OT, PT, and Speech Therapy daily.  He enjoys being busy and working, and seems happier. 

We are so Thankful for the many thoughts and prayers that have been offered for him.  They have meant so much for the whole family as we see him progress, now almost daily.  We appreciate all the kind words from everyone.  To know there is such a large group praying for him is so encouraging. 

Hugs to all,

Muriel & Tom Dougherty
