update #130 from Linda

Hello!  Hope this finds you well!

A couple of things to report...

Last week we took a quad cane into the pool and Steve practiced walking with it and did a good job.  Yesterday at Willowbrook we tried it for a few minutes and were all pretty amazed at how well he did.  We're not sure yet just how long he'll be able to tolerate it, but we'll definitely be working more with it this week!

Walk the Line asked all their clients to write a specific goal with a time frame for their "I Will" display.  Today Steve wrote, "I will drive my car in the 2014 Dream Cruise."  Love this.  Such a reflection on what's important to him, what he's certain he'll accomplish, and he gave himself time to make it happen! 

We saw a new rehab optomotrist, and were referred to an OT who specializes in low vision issues.  We are really anxious to start working with her.  She'll be giving us things to work on at home, too. 

Plans are in place for Steve's golf outing, which is on June 23rd.  If you'd like a flyer or want to particpate in any way, please let me know  (lindapercha@gmail.com or 248-568-6091).  Your support is much appreciated!

Thanks so much for checking in!  Hope life is good for all of you.

Love,
Linda
