outpatient therapy

On Wednesday, Keith had an initial assessment in the outpatient therapy at Good Sam. We wished the therapists could be more efficient in this entire process, but we realize the hospital functions according to their timing and plans, not according to the patient's best interest. After two days of not receiving therapy, Keith seems to be stagnant in his recovery. On Wed, he received physical, occupational and speech therapy. Here are a few updates:

-Physical: his goal is to strengthen his neck and shoulders which are really stiff and painful. -Occupational: his goal is to fine tune his skills, especially in using his left arm/hands. In the picture, the OT asked him to put all the little sticks into the holes with the weaker arm/hand
-Speech: he has to learn to breathe and speak correctly, using his diaphagm, not his chest. The speech therapist recommended Keith to use a small amplifier or mic to project his voice. I shared that we believe Keith will fully recover in his speech because he needs to start preaching again. Unfortunately, the speech therapist just gave me a negative, weird look with such input.

Prayer requests:
-Pray for MOTIVATION and the WILL to exercise, get out of bed, to recover fully!
-Pray for therapy sessions to go well...
-Pray for the family.to encourage Keith and care for him joyfully
