Rick spends each day from about 8:30 in the morning till 4:30 in the afternoon in physical and occupational therapy. In occupational therapy he is working with such tools as voice recognition software. Physical therapy is aimed at restoring strength and mobility. Rick has developed the strength and dexterity needed to pilot his wheelchair through the halls of Helen Hayes under his own power, but issues still remain with his grasp.
The first goal Rick has set for himself is to obtain a day pass on June 27th so he can attend Brad's graduation. We're all pulling for you Rick!...Mike Rice
