Week 2

So we have made it through another week. It's amazing that we have already been here for 2 weeks. It seems to have gone so fast while at the same time going so slow. If that makes sense to anyone :) Mark continues to do great in physical therapy and they continue to challenge him with new excercises. The girl today had him working a lot on his knees and working on his stomach strength. It's fun to see him do these excercises and see how much stronger he has become even from last week. So after we got home it was straight to bed for Mark for 5 hours. While he was in bed I went and did laundry so we could have clean clothes for next week. We had pancakes for dinner because that's what sounded good to Mark. We are trying to figure out what we want to do this weekend since we have 3 days off until our next appointment. We are hoping to go to some museums or something. I guess we'll see.



She's the head of the Physical Therapy department. She's great!! She's just a few weeks out from having a hip replacement and she is always walking around talking to everyone seeing how they are doing. She remembers everyone because she will ask you specific questions when she sees you. Everyone is just so amazing here, we are so blessed!!




More of our cute therapists!





We got hungry before the injection so we went and bought some desserts and they were really good. I'm a sucker for desserts! Pretty much anything sweet.




Robert playing peek-abo with the curtains.




Robert and Julie. So cute!




If you look really close you can see the spinal fluid coming out. They let one drop come out, then they inject the cells.





The doctor that gave us the injections this week. I feel terrible because I don't remember his name but our doctor we had last week was out of town this week so he was filling in. He was so nice and after he was done he came back in and gave Mark and I a hershey kiss and told us we had been good :)




After the injection Dr. Lara always waits with us until the van gets there. He is awesome and so nice, and yes he and Robert are giving Mark and Julie bunny ears!!!




Mark doing a one armed push up which is really hard to do anyway and he did it. She didn't even ask him to do it, he just started doing it and she was like that's a great idea now i have a new excercise. So even Mark's getting new ideas of what to do.

  1. Good post Celeste! I can't get enough of the pictures or video! I actually get tired just watching Mark doing his PT for a few seconds. Now I understand why you have to rest, cause just watching him is a workout. :)
    We missed you guys today. Trav spoke on Baptism and did a good job. We all hung out and had a great time. We even brought our shaved ice machine. Yum! Have a great weekend! Can't wait to see what you get to do!
