The physical therapist came by today to start off the home health visits. The visit consisted pretty much of filling out paperwork and her having Randy do stuff so she could see how he was doing. She said that she doesn't think Randy will need home health services for too long because he is getting pretty mobile. It is a nice transition, though, before having to drive him anywhere for outpatient therapy. He should be starting occupational and speech therapy soon as well, though she said it might take a bit longer for speech therapy to start due to people being out for vacation.
Randy is doing much better with his walking. His balance is so much better. Unfortunately, with his improvements, he is starting to feel like he can do a lot more than he actually can. Something fell on the floor today and he bent down to pick it up and ended up on the floor himself. Thankfully he was already close to the floor to begin with! He up just laughing at himself and throughout the day, anytime anything fell to the ground, he would jokingly ask if I wanted him to pick it up.
All in all, we had a pretty relaxing day today. We both ended up falling asleep late morning and slept for a couple of hours, which I think we both desperatley needed! We played on the computer a bit and he ended up taking some IQ test (http://uk.tickle.com/test/iq.html) and didn't do too bad ~ his score was 111. Then I had him help me make dinner and for walking practice, I took him to the movie store and had him walk the wall of new releases. He did much better with walking in a public place than he did two days ago.
It is so nice having him home!
