Wednesday- Dive 21 & 22, Day 8 at the gym

It's Wednesday of week 2. Again today, no problems in the spaceship. Will chose Doc McStuffins to watch both times. It's so nice that he gets to pick his show. Captain David asks him each time and Will is happy to choose!

Day 8 at the gym started out nicely. Will rolled on his belly to warm up. When Miss Tiffany told Will to get ready to roll this is what he did.

Straight as a board!

After rolling they went to the cage, where Miss Tiffany made a huge adjustment to Will's supports. Normally Will has 8 bungee cords giving him support while he stands. Today she cut that number in half! Only 4! Will struggled more than usual, of course, but it was pretty remarkable to see him working so hard to keep upright.

Having less help standing means very tired legs! After the cage they moved on to standing with Buzz. Will still did pretty well with this exercise.

From there it just went downhill. Mr. Will's leg just couldn't keep him up any longer! He did not beat any records in the standing with canes department for sure.

And then....the dreaded stairs! I couldn't bring myself to sharing those videos. After typing all that I can understand why he ended up on the couch with all of his Toy Story friends. I had great intentions of going to Ash Wednesday mass, but Will had other ideas. I figured with all the work that he did today he deserved a night on the couch.

The Final Week! A fun filled weekend with family and dives 27 &28

Happy Monday! It's week 3. We're almost finished. Will is ready to go home. He is missing his Daddy, (and he just saw him yesterday!). Phil and the kids came in Friday night and stayed until yesterday afternoon. We filled the weekend with as much as we could! Two movies (me and big kids), 3 dives (Will and his daddy), indoor skydiving (Ben and Isabel), and church (together!)! Together again! My kiddos! Will's waving to the camera! All the happy divers...Phil, Grandma Linda, Mason (front and center!) Josie and Will! I had a fun surprise for Ben and Isabel! Indoor Skydiving! They LOVED it! Score one for MOM! It was fun to watch. Will said he's going to do it next time! I might just try it too! They take you out once to let you figure it out and then give you a second flight to go much higher! The first video shows Isabel's first flight, the instructor said sh...

Hello Friday!!! Dives 36 and 37

Dive 36- Josie and Will. Started the day with another dose and oxygen and Mickey Mouse! Our last solo workout in Miss Tiffany's gym. We skipped the yoga today and went right for the stairs. Will grabbed his canes and some friends and got started. As he was walking it occurred to me how often I took for granted when Ben and Isabel went walking across the floor with toys in their hands. Just think about that for a minute...then watch this video! He carried Mario and Luigi to the stairs. I carried them up the stairs and then he proceeded to throw them down. Typical kiddo! After getting hurled down the stairs now poor Mario has to be thrown in a hoop! Poor guy! He threw all of Mario's friends in the basket too. Then he made his way across the room to leave Miss Tiffany one last message. He made it about halfway when he fell, but you know Will, he got right up and finished the job! I think Will enjoy...

Week 3, Tuesday, Dives 29 & 30

Dive 29- Mr. Will and Josie. Mickey Mouse, our morning ritual! After the dive Will headed over to Miss Tiffany's gym. I guess we'll stick around, he likes working in there! He basically set the whole day up, I only added one thing! He started himself on the stairs. I just stood back and filmed! Rock on , Mr. Will! This next thing I added. The next time you get up from sitting (in a chair for example) think about what all goes into that. I think this will be something he could master when we come back this summer! By the way, Miss Tiffany will be back for that one! Back to Will's plan. He didn't want me to video him getting into position but I thought it showed a lot of good work on Will's part. Pulling yourself on a scooter is an amazing workout! Now for the "real" video. Will set up all the pins and now he is kicking them over, according to his plan! Miss Cheryl poppe...

Will makes three...
