Day 22

This morning, Ryan worked out in the gym on the hand-bike machine. He said he only used his left arm. After that "warm-up," Ryan had constraint induced therapy. He had to play Connect Four only using his left arm. The therapist said that he did really well.

In speech therapy, Ryan played a computer game. The game gave him a bunch of letters and he had to make words using the different letters.

Ryan went out to Spaghetti Works for lunch with one of his life skills therapists. (I'm so jealous! Yum!) He had to plan the trip himself. (Pick the place and get directions.)

In PT, Ryan did some transfer practice. He also had to balance on his knees on the mat while batting a balloon back and forth with me using his left hand. After the balloon fun, he had to side-step on his knees. This will help build strength in his hips and glutes. It will also help him weight shift better. 

Ryan met with a therapist today to research Omaha and the different places to go/eat/see. After that, Ryan had to work on developing a list of things he will need for his camping trip. 

After all of his regular therapy sessions were over, Ryan had to complete his homework. He had to write a bio on himself detailing his history and his current activities and goals at QLI. He also had to write up some information to give the Navy guys he is meeting with tomorrow. 

I'm tired just watching him! ;)
