Final day

Today was the final day of therapy. Bri really tired me out. We worked on core stuff in the morning and then went straight to the walker. It was really cool. I took a lot of steps and Bri said I had really good pull through. After that I did some more crawling before going into the gait trainer for the last half hour. I am sad that its over but miss home. Tonight we are planning on going to the pier in Oceanside and getting dinner at Ruby's diner. It will be an amazing view. mMmMm. Cant wait. Be home tomorrow night.

4 days down

After a long and tiring day 4, we are finally coming to a rest and getting ready for bed. Today was a really fun day. Today at therapy I (yes this is Tyler now)I worked my core. I did some back extensions and lots of sit ups and crunches. I crawled again this time a lot better then the first. Bri had some new ideas for me and we tried them. After working out I was pretty tired. We decided to go to Torrey Pines and do a little para-gliding. Para-gliding is basically hang-gliding but with a parachute like glider. Basically you just run and jump off this cliff and catch the updrafts from the ocean. It was amazing. Tammie and I soared high above the beach. I could not believe how high you go. After a very smooth ride\takeoff\and landing from the Torrey Pines flight crew we went to the beach in Encinitas. It was beautiful. We borrowed a beach chair from the lifeguards and Tammie and I went into the ocean. It was like bath water. Now we are pretty tired so were off to bed. More updates tomorrow after day 5.

Thanks all for reading

project walk day 3

Today was day 3 at Project Walk. It was a good day. Tyler did a lot of standing exercises and worked on the Total Gym. He went on the Gait Trainer (For those who don't know, the gait trainer is a harness device used to hold a person over a walker or an elliptical machine. This mimics walking and the stride over and over has proven to improve connection to the legs from the brain.) and took some steps on the tread mill. He also used a new machine that mimicked crawling but vertical. After Therapy Tyler went on the FES bike( Bike that uses electrical stimulation to help to pedal the bike.) He was pretty tired. After therapy Tyler, Tammie and Aunt Maureen went to the San Diego Wild Life Reserve. We saw animals up close from a Guided Safari tour. It was amazing. We saw Rinos and Giraffs up close. After that we went to the beach to see the sunset. More to come tomorrow.

Project walk day 2

Today was Tyler's second day at Project Walk. Today He took some assisted steps in the walker. His trainer Bree said they were better then the previous ones he took in May. He also got his butt kicked kneeling doing floor exercizes. He went on the gait trainer for a half hour and got some walking repetitions in. After workout, he went into the pool and hot tub to relax for a while. more to come tomorrow
