Contraption

Here is a photo of a standing frame to help Mom practice standing and stretching her legs. Dad emailed me pictures last night and I sure enjoyed seeing them - I hope you all will, too. The frame lets Mom stand up much straighter than she's been able to before, and it allows variable amounts of weight to be lowered onto Mom's feet as she progresses in increments. This is just one of the frames Dad and the guys at Autometrix have designed and built.

Dad reports that Mom is able to achieve a little more motion on her left side with each week that passes. She can lift her left foot about two inches now.

Here's Mom with her number one caregiver and therapist - Dad:
