Hendrix had his first physical rehabilitation appointment today.  This is his therapist, Krista.  She’s doing an assessment, checking out his range of motion, strength, reflexes.  She’s seeing if he can use his back legs when his body is supported.

She feels optimistic that he can make some progress, because he does have some voluntary movement in his rear legs.

Hendrix gets some electrical stimulation, getting the message from the muscles to the brain and back.  We also got a home program with lots more things to work on at home.  Hendrix was exhausted at the end of his session - that therapy stuff is hard work!
