Hi Jane, Cindy and all
I'm back from Atlanta. We had a good week and even got to see some awesome fireworks in Atlanta on the 4th.
Thank you for the condolences. My friend was a fighter--determined to raise her kids. Her daughter graduated high school in May. My friend cried so at my daughter's wedding in 2006. She said it was because the wedding was so beautiful, but somehow, as positive as she was, I think she knew that she might not see her own daughter marry.
I need some advice on another question--Gerald is really starting to twist to one side when he is in his wheelchair. His torso muscles seem to be contracting or perhaps spasming. We try to vary his positioning as much as possible, but does there come a time when he should spend more time in a prone position? Will this help contractures and/or spasms?
We do go back to Chicago 7/15 to orthotics and OT.
Thanks.
Sharon
