Steve went outside today. Katie, his physical therapist took him onto the grass so that he could get some experience on different terrain. His buddy Lorenzo stopped by. Lorenzo has this soothing voice and he's so inspirational--it's great that he visits Steve with regularity. He was at Shepherd years ago, but now he does out-patient therapy. He tells Steve to focus on moving just one thing, like a finger, and putting all of his energy towards that goal. Lex couldn't come by today, but he called to see how Steve was doing. He keeps and steady eye on Steve and Mare.

Steve was in his chair by 8:30 today. That's a pretty early day for him. And he was just getting back into bed--so a full day indeed. Overall, this week had been a series of highs and lows.
