Patty says: Walter is continuing to improve and amaze me. He walked 20 steps at therapy. We have gone from 4-12-20.
Last Sat. we played euchre with Rick and Corinne and Walter was able to play on his own. All he needs is a card holder. WOW!!! Yesterday he played checkers with Marsha and beat her 2X. Marsha is pretty happy about that!! He gets so chatty at night now I have to say "stop talking". What a difference from pure ephasia just months ago!! He is also on a diet as his weight has jumped to probably 180 lbs from 138. He still wants two sandwiches for lunch and he is pretty unhappy to see one sandwich on his plate.He is getting a new brace for his foot and the therapist says that should help him walk. It will be great to get rid of that big, clunky brace. That is the update for now.
As the therapist says GO WALTER GO.

Patty this is the most incredible news!! I love that you have to tell him to stop talking - LOL. You must be thrilled to see this amazing progress - give yourself a big pat on the back for all your hard work, love and dedication to Walter.
This is HUGE, Rochester!!!

20 steps! Uh-oh, sounds like we better clean the house! 20 more steps after those first 20 and we might have a visitor we haven't seen at our house in a while now. Man, that's great news! Keep up the GREAT work, Walt!
