Mom continues to show slow, gradual improvement. She is walking up and down the stairs once daily as part of physical therapy. She does this with a spotter. She is practicing her swallowing exercises in the hope of passing a future swallow study so she can have a regular diet.

Bob in some ways is having more difficulty. His back pain continues and is due to his bulging discs which were present before the crash but have been exacerbated recently. He was seen by a specialist today and is encouraged by the likelihood of improvement with a cortisone shot. This shot will hopefully provide quick relief. He will likely do physical therapy as well. Surgery is definately the last option.
