Cool Things are Happening...

Today was a really good day.

First of all Cory shaved his face all by himself. And he did a dang good job.

Second, in OT he was able to sit himself up on the side of the bed almost all by himself...THAT IS MAJOR!!!!

Then in PT Cory played tennis on the Wi while he was in the standing frame for almost 15 min. He said he did good until he started thinking about it haha. Then he did this machine where he was "bicycle peddling" with his hands for 10 min. straight. Sadly, right after that Cory felt really nauseated and he threw up. It was pretty bad. Luckily right after that he felt instantly better.

Next, Cory had ST and they continued with the icing therapy. We actually saw some really big improvements in his facial muscles. His left side has had a pretty good smile and movement and now his right side is starting to have twitching and some movement.

During lunch is when the most exciting thing happened. Cory was still feeling a little queezy from the above event but, while he was eating the stomach Dr. came in and looked at his g-tube and said "o I can take care of that" so he got a pair of scissors and snipped off part of the tube and then pulled it right out. It was crazy and Cory and I both were freaking out. It didn't even hurt. I got lots of pictures but I think I will wait to post them...they are a little graphic haha. And I also kept the feeding tube to show our familiy....now the last foreign object we need to get out of him is the trech....we are still working on that front.

Cory had a very busy day and he was pretty tired this afternoon but he was able to visit with a few friends today and that really made him happy. He even had the chance to talk to someone who recently has guillain-barre himself. I haven't had a chance to talk to Cory about all the details but it sounded like it really made him feel better to see someone else who had this same disease and make such an awesome recovery.
