No news is good news

It has been over a month since my last post. Things are going very well.

Mordy has passed his driving test, so he has regained the independence that comes with driving. I can now work regular hours at Hillel because he is able to pick up the kids from camp at the end of their day (which ends earlier than when I would normally leave Hillel).

Mordy went to his last physical therapy appointment last Friday, and his functional gait assessment numbers were very good. Functional gait assessment tries to measure how well you move around in the world, on a 1-30 scale. When he first started the therapy, he was at 11. Four weeks ago he was at 17, and at this visit, he was 27.

The therapist said he is 95% recovered from the stroke. The insurance company will only cover a few more therapy sessions within this calendar year. So on the advice of his therapist, he is taking a break from therapy for now, with the idea that he can return for a "tune up" in a few months if necessary.

Mordy generally feels good. He still has minor vision problems, but he is reading a ton, including the Daf Yomi (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daf_Yomi).  He is preparing to return to full-time teaching in two weeks.

Mordy wanted me to include our tremendous gratefulness to God that he is recovering so well...That he can walk and drive and read on his own...that he is enjoying reading to our boys every night, as he always did before...And that we are able t o maintain our beautiful, strong, loving marriage through it all.

I want to thank everyone who has helped us--friends and family. If things continue to go smoothly, I probably won't updating again.

Feel free to email me at getwellmordy@gmail.com with questions, etc.
