Stroke
Ward Milestones!
The weekend of July 5 & 6 was full of
amazing progress! By the evening of July
5 Dom had movement in his right foot and leg and slight movement in his right
hand. We were able to take him out and
about in the wheelchair…well out and about to the cafeteria; still it was out
of his room and the ward!
On July 6 Dom had gained movement in his
right arm from his fingertips to his elbow!
This was excellent news and put Dom in a more positive frame of mind,
especially after his tough day on Friday with the rehab staff. The nurses were impressed and astounded by
the progress Dom was making. He couldn’t
wait to see the physio on Monday to see what else he would be able to do and
what exercises he could do while he waited to go to rehab.

Dom spent Sunday afternoon in the cafeteria
with all of his visitors – he had an iced coffee and was able to see everyone
at once instead of only the two at a time when on the Stroke Ward.
Things were now looking positive for a move
to rehabilitation.
