Andy really enjoyed having a service, led by Pastor Stuart and attended by other CLC'ers, in the chapel last Thursday. It was a real opportunity for Andy to do something 'normal', which is worship with other CHristians. It brought tears to my eyes as I watched him singing the words and worshipping his saviour.
We are starting to introduce other more 'normal' activities. Andy ventured to Costa a total of five times last week and is more and more able to stand increased amounts of time in his wheelchair.
This week Andy was able to sit unaided on a bench in the physio gym as his core muscles have really strengthened. Andy also sat in a normal armchair and as of next week his therapy will be to sit in this chair as much as possible. Andy's head control is also improving.
We will be having a meeting with Andy's consultant at Moseley Hall on Monday to discuss his transfer and what treatment he will be having. Please pray for God's favour on this meeting.
Andy's upper body movement is much improved and he can raise both arms a good way of the bed by using his shoulder muscles. Please pray for movement in Andy's legs as there doesn't appear to be any voluntary movement.
Absolutely ace!
ReplyDeleteI loved being part of the service with you all in the chapel - that is absolutely what church is all about.
Wonderful news with the increased strength and mobility. Just wonderful to know that Andy can have a change of scene as a practicality. Let's hope the transfer goes really smoothly.
