Leighton moved from the Craig Hospital in Denver to the Pushing Boundaries rehab facility in Seattle a few weeks ago. I know, I know....a few weeks....yeah I am behind on updating.
Anyway, Leighton is at his new home, for the time being, working his butt off. He said that the Craig Hospital was great and they really helped him a lot. The focus at the Craig hospital was to get Leighton doing everything he could on his own. He mastered his chair, is a fish in the water, and even had some fun in a hand operated car.
Now that he has moved to the Pushing Boundaries facility in Seattle they have begun to focus on getting the movement back in his lower body. The facility uses a lot of machines that move Leighton's legs and body through normal range of motion trying to get the nerves to fire off muscle memory. Pushing Boundaries the on the cutting edge of rehab with the best doctors and techniques.
Leighton is working hard to accomplish everything he can each and every day. Thanks for your continued support and prayers.
