Week 2 Dive 17 & 18--Day 6 at the Gym

We had a nice relaxing weekend.  Got a few dives in but not much else.  We went to our "church away from church" for Palm Sunday mass but that was about the extent of our weekend.

Dive #17
Will woke up by himself at 7:10 and requested Peanut Butter toast for breakfast!  This boy is ready for week 2!
This morning it is Mr. Chet, Miss Maria and Richard , Will and myself.  Will watched the movie Home in our hotel room over the weekend and he thought it would be a good one for the spaceship.  It's a shame John isn't here to enjoy a Doc-free dive!

Day 6 at Miss Tiffany's gym

Will was ready to go this morning!  Let's get warmed up!


On to another warm up/balance exercise.  Remember, Mr. Will has a very hard time with balance.  He has to think about keeping his body in check and it's especially hard for him to remember to keep his feet on the floor.  Imagine if you had that problem...


Next Will went to the stairs, he's getting better at them...I think.  Tonight during his bath he told me that was the favorite part of his day.  Interesting!  He still had to stop and do flower breaths a couple times, but I'm glad he starting to like them!

On to the cart.  



I think after pushing the cart across the floor to the yellow brick road, the he climbled onto the scooter and scooted himself back and forth across the yellow road.  He stopped for a snack, then walked back across the room pushing the cart again.  Then after all that, this is what he did...


and then this...




but wait...there's more...


No hands!  Woo Hoo!  I love that!  I love that Will loves it too!  He's so proud of himself.  There's more to come.  Next is walking with the canes.  



Now for the bike.  Will is getting very good at riding the bike, but there are lots of things to think about when riding a bike.  Namely...paying attention to where you're going!!!


That was seriously close.  Thank Goodness Miss Tiffany was there to save his noggin.  We'd have to stay another week for more HBOT!

We tried to go outside to ride today.  It was very windy and cold!  So back inside and still having a hard time paying attention.

  

Dive #18
Today we have 2 new divers.  Mr. Kenny, a victim of a stroke, and his wife Sherrie who figures she might as well enjoy the benefits of HBOT too!  They are very nice to Will and happy to watch Home (Will's 2nd time today!).  Welcome aboard!

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!
