Dana has been very busy with therapy. On Friday Dana's best friend Dave came to Atlanta to visit. It was great to spend time with him. (For those of you who don't know, Dave was with Dana at the time of the accident). As you can imagine, the visit was an emotional one.
Friday was also the day of the holiday party. Dana and I learned to wheelchair dance. Suprisingly, we didn't do too bad. At the party, the patients decorated, exchanged gifts and had a nice spread of food for lunch.
Friday night we went on a Therapeutic Recreation outing to Bear Rock Cafe.
Saturday was another busy day! Dana has therapy in the morning, lifting weights and stretching and did some dexterity exercises with his left hand. Since the splint was removed, the left arm/hand is really coming along. Dana is able to push his chair in a straight line.
The afternoon was filled with shopping at a local outdoor shopping center. It was the first time Dana transferred with help, into a car. As he puts it, "its great to get out and see what Atlanta really looks like."
Dave it was great to see you and catch up! Your visit was very special, as is your friendship.

Merry Christmas Dana and Courtney!
We wish you a year full of just as many miracles (but a little less need to use them). So glad you got to see Atlanta, a really beautiful city. Not nearly as nice as a snowy New York Christmas though. Ask them at the PTs office about fitting that chair for skis- or a snowboard. Hmmm, I'm getting a visual....
Keep strong, both of you. It gets better from here.
Love the Sepka Family
