It was 4 years ago on Tuesday that this health journey started for Sean. Some days it doesn't seem that is has been that long ago and other days longer. He achieved another milestone on Wednesday when he was training with Chris in the pool. He had a lifeguard bouyant waist band he was pushing down with his shoulders and Chris had him swimming across the therapy pool at the same time. He continued to swim and did about 2 laps when it was all said and done. It was both challenging for his arms and legs but he enjoyed it a lot. His hands still shake when dealing with anything with weight involved. He is working on pouring a glass of milk from a half gallon of milk. His hands and arm shakes but he has much better use and control with them now. Doing all these exercises does help, some days he wouldn't agree however. He has had a miserable cold that has gotten better but left that lingering cough. He rests a lot with this cold and since that is the best thing for him that's what we do, let him rest. He will be 41 on the 1st of February which doesn't seem possible. It is confusing to him about dates and years most of the time. He still looks for a H3 Hummer everyday, he has even looked at the finance sites. I asked him what did he think he would do with one since he couldn't drive it, he said sit in it in the back yard. Why would we tempt him with something that would hurt not only himself but others. Still grateful he is alive.
