Monday November 30 th. 2008 Marks golfing therapy

I went up to go see Mark at the hospital today.  Marks recreational therapy was today, Mark was going to get to golf in the hall of the hospital with Kelly his recreational therapist.  I said hi to Mark, Mark was happy to see me as always. Mark therapy started with Kelly strapping Mark into a stand that would allow Mark to stand by himself with out any one holding on to him. Just getting Mark in the harness was hard for Mark to do he does alot of jercking with movement. Kelly asked Mark if he would like to put a few balls into a bucket Mark said, yes. Then Kelly ask mark what he would like to use as he showed Mark a full range of golf clubs to chose from. Mark chose the the putting club to putt with, Kelly through about five balls in front of Mark. Mark proceed to pull one ball at a time with his putting club in front of him.  And then he putted each and every one of them in the bucket this made me very happy because Mark was doing what he was supposed to do with out having to be shown what to do and he had enough control to make everyone ball hit it's target. Then Kelly ask if Mark would hit a few balls over about a too foot object.  Mark said yes then Kelly ask Mark what club would he like to use Mark looked them all over and said, I would like the chipping wedge.  Mark had five balls again and he managed to hit too of them over the object that was about the end of Marks therapy that pretty well wiped Mark out.  Mark had to rest after that so he could be ready for his next therapy.  I love seeing that my brother rembered how to swing the clubs and he also  knew which clubs to use I look forwad to the day Mark will be able to go golfing again.  Mark loves to golf! Thank you Lord for helping Mark today!
