Rob is out of quarantine (isolation) at Heliomare. Yipee!!! He is thrilled and eager to move forward with his full therapy now. Much of his therapy had been limited while in quarantine most of October, and he can finally do what he went there to do – rehabilitation.
And … Rob was also able to stand a few times today for longer amounts of time and was also able to transfer himself to different places on his own. That will give him a lot more independence.
Now that he is able to have full rehabilitation, because he can go to the gym and do other activities, we are hoping he can get more muscle tone and progress more quickly.
He will be home again for another long weekend from Thursday evening to Sunday evening (5-8 Nov.). I’m really looking forward to seeing all the new things he can do!

Hi Rob and Ellyn.
This is all great news and indeed tremendous progress! It’s all one big snowball effect: from standing and excercising you will get a better appetite, which will make you eat better, which will make you stronger, which will make you able to exercise more etc etc etc. As you know we’ve been there and seen it happen, and there is no telling where the buck stops so keep going at it! Don’t give up, there will be tougher days but it will all pay out eventually. Congrats on all your great work, you are doing great!
After Mawela came home Monday evening we are now preparing for a two week vacation. No doctors, no therapists, it will be great!
We’ll be in touch when we get back at the end of the Month. You guys all the best, and hang in there!
Take care, Mawela and Gera
