From Steph's Facebook page:
Sorry this update is overdue!! I actually had cases at work this week so no facebook time. I visited Anthony last week and he as doing well. The physical therapist actually got him into a standing position with a standing harness and he was able to bear weight almost completely on his own for about 6 minutes. It was pretty awesome! He told me today that he was up to 75 degrees on the tilt table today (his previous max was 55 degrees before getting light headed) so every week is an improvement. Also, over the weekend he was finally able to start flexing his right arm up. Yesterday he used the leg bike for muscle strengthening- he said that he was pretty slow but completely refused to use the motor assistance and did all the work himself.We were able to get his computer access improved by getting a aerobic mouse and using the Dragon Naturally speaking dictation software. You may be able to catch him on skype in the evenings.I am on my way up to Chicago for a couple days and hope to get out another update after a couple of his therapy sessions.
