Saturday
We've seen some great improvements since Steve has been in rehab. Thursday he walked for the first time, Friday he walked about 20 feet, and today he walked about 40 feet, some while pushing a grocery cart. He did all of this with assistance from the physical therapist, of course. His attention span right now is super short- about half a second. But yesterday, while looking at a picture collage of himself and his friends from high school (thanks, Niki) he stared at it for almost five minutes. At one point he even pointed to a picture of himself. We don't really know what's going on in his mind right now, but it was very interesting to see him do that. Thanks to everyone in Madeira who sent gifts for Steve!

God is so good! We continue to pray for Steve and full functioning of his brain. God is answering prayers that you see noticeable progress each day! I miss you all.

Small steps Steve. Sounds like you are making progress. Keep it up man, I know you can do it.
