All we want for Hannukah & Christmas

Max Update:  He is very close on reaching all three of the goals he needs to accomplish to order to get out of the "Red Zone" and into the "Yellow Zone."  The Yellow Zone will mean he gets to to do more activity and that he is officially out of the scary danger zone.  

We are working towards getting to the "Yellow Zone" by Christmas.  His Physical Therapist, Ly, thinks he will make it. We're so excited.

This was Max this morning at 7 am.  His leg is at about an 85 degree angle.  Once he gets to 90 degrees we're golden.

The back bend is coming along too.  Every time I see him do it I think– there is no way I could even come close to how far he's bending back!

In other news, Ly the (Physical Therapist) has stress fractures in her back.  They're a result of all the positions she puts her back in and force/strength she uses in doing her job.

Now Ly and Max have coordinating braces– like salt & pepper (although hers is a "soft" brace).  She has to wear it all the time and go to PT twice a week.  It's too bad Ly has to go through all this, but it's a good thing she caught the problem.

She's extremely patient, encouraging and good with Max. Even very early in the morning.

We are so fortunate to have her as our PT!
