Occupational Therapy

We are with the occupational therapist now. She is the one who is teaching Dad dexterity. She gave him a pen to see how well he could hold a pen and write his name. She had to wrap tape around the pen to make it thicker so he could hold it. He was able to grasp the pen but couldn't write. She also gave him some Thera putty and she is doing all kinds of activities with it. He definitely has strength in his arm but the coordination isn't there. The more he practices the better he will get. I can't remember if I mentioned that he went for another walk today. He went down the hall and back and did fantastic. He is having a great attitude. And making us all laugh. I think he is going to handle this all very well. It's going to drive him crazy to be in the hospital so I think he will work harder to get out. I'm proud of him!
