It's been a good week this week. On Monday and Wednesday Tony had his therapies. He wrote a couple of programs for his occupational therapist. In his physical therapy he ran for the first time since the accident. We have also been going to the gym a few times a week so Tony is getting stronger and looking good. In his group meeting they talked some more about the brain. They said that studying and arobic exercise helped speed up the regrowth of the connections and that improvement can continue to happen for a very long time.
Tony also had an appointment with the neuro optometrist on Friday. We ordered some frames for prism glasses. It should take about 2 weeks to get those. We got a name for an eye surgeon to make an appointment for a consultation. I'm still not sure that's something we should do because I haven't seen much positive reviews on the Internet about the surgery. The eye doctor said Tony is already doing some compensating on his own for the double vision by looking off to the side a little. She thinks working with the prisms may help improve his double vision but wont get rid of it. The best result to get rid of the double vision would be a combination of surgery plus prisms. Please continue to pray for his eye to heal.
On Tuesday Tony is planning on going back to work. Please keep him in prayer for this. He is very excited about going back to work and moving on with his plans for the future.
