Melissa on the Locomat for the first time.  Her therapists were all so patent, helpful and fun

They laid the bathroom floor today.  They were two pieces short.  Bill went to get two more pieces and they were holding 22 boxes of the tile for someone and were out.  One of the workers is picking up the pieces in Bay City tomorrow, and then coming to finish the floor in the morning

Bill and I went to the SportsZone and walked 2 miles.  Went to see Melissa.  Got there at 9:30 so I could see her go on the locomat pro.  They had to measure her and then it took 3 therapists to set up the machine.  Then it kept saying error, so they called in the outpatient therapist who knows how to work the machine really good.  He got it going.  I was amazed at how it made her walk the right way, using the right muscles and keeping her feet right.  It cut down the spascity too.  AMAZING!
She will be better fast if she uses the right muscles.  She did better in all her other therapies after that too.  There was a photographer for Mary Free Bed there who kept taking photos of her.  I left to go get Hailey and right after I left, they were getting Melissa off the locomat. Melissa said she felt dizzy.  A minute later, Melissa fainted.  Vikki kept asking the therapists if she was ok.  They hadn't realized she fainted.  The guy grabbed her and lifted her up while the others unhooked her.  I guess this is a common thing that happens the first time the machine is used by someone.  Hailey and I went to Walmart and got a soft blanket for Helen and some M & M's.  We went to Taco  Bell and ate lunch and then called to find out what Vikki, the kids and Bill wanted us to bring back for them.  We took lunch to them and then we went downstairs to see Melissa in Therapy.  Matthew was on the locomat machine so we went and talked to him.  I messaged Bill and he came down to see Matthew.  We watched him for a while and then went and got Melissa to watch.  We went back upstairs and then left so Melissa could rest.  I came home and Bill and I went for a motorcycle ride to Culver's in Midland for Concrete Mixers and then went to see Kimmy, Jared and the boys.  The boys were in the pool having so much fun.  I am so happy they are so close and love playing together. Jared rode the motorcycle the yard and did great.  I sure love the way it rides so comfortable.   Kimmy and I went and looked at the boys sheep.  They sure are nice sheep.  We went in the house and Kimmy made us coffee that was delicious.  Melissa said Helen loved the blanket and wanted to FaceTime me and say thank you.  I face timed her and she was so cute and sweet.  She cuddled the blanket the whole time and kept thanking us.  We came home and watched a movie.
