Craig is getting out more socially, and it is great to see friends while we are out and about. We went to a High School basketball game on Tuesday and had a great time. The bad weather is taking a toll on our walking schedule, but Craig is still getting some good workouts in. He really likes his new therapists, which makes our life a lot easier.  It is interesting that his memory of the hospital consists of about the last week-and-a -half of the time we spent there. Based on this, he sometimes thinks the time in the hospital was pretty short, and we have to remind him of what he actually went through.

Craig didn't feel well yesterday and spent most of the day resting. He was fine again this morning and had a good, active day. Due to the snow storm last night we couldn't walk outside, so he did some extra work on the stepper. We are pleased with his motivation level and the drive he has to improve his condition. We are still seeing a lot of progress and are happy with the way things are going, although it is important for everyone to realize that he still has a long way to go. While he can carry on a rational conversation, he is still getting people and places mixed up, and having a hard time remembering specific events. We expect this to improve, and we need to be patient, as he gets frustrated with the lapses. It is a busy time with the holiday preparations and all, and we really appreciate the help of family and friends.
