This afternoon Rand walked some around the house as it was raining and cold outside. He did well, no leg brace, no cane, no walker, but heavy assistance from Thuan and support from Manny. (see photo below).

This was followed by a small gathering to celebrate Rand's birthday last Saturday. He celebrated his birthday more times than anyone I know! He had three birthday cakes and more champagne that you can shake a stick at! Now he has even more candy and goodies in his room.

All is well. Rand denies that his speech, mental and physical abilities are improving, but they are - slowly, slowly, slowly, but he is making progress every day.

Keep him close in your thoughts and prayers.

Love,
Connie


The Birthday Boy and The Wife

Blowing out the last of the birthday candles.

Walking this afternoon with assistance from Thuan and Manny. Notice that he is not wearing his brace so his foot has to be held in place with Ace bandages and duct tape. He did so well, correcting the automatic outward turn of his right foot/leg after each step.
