A very exciting day on Saturday (5/14/05). When I arrived to visit, Frank, Lois’s personal trainer, was into his session so I did not interrupt. I decided to fill the bird and squirrel feeders. The aid came to get me saying “Lois wants to see you NOW!” Yikes! That always worries me. When I got to her room she had that big smile that I have seen before when she has something amazing to show me. “Watch this!” she said. While Frank was holding her weak arm in place Lois was able to bend her arm at the elbow and almost touch her face. This was the first time this type of movement has happened. Now this was exciting! The arm movement has been limited to the shoulder only. She has been able to slightly squeeze my finger with her fingers. But there has been no other movement in the arm – until now. This may be helpful for her to get into the Susan Bennett program.
