I took Riley for therapy today and he did very well. He went 15 minutes in the treadmill which was great. Cindy was trying to get him to stretch his legs out on the ball but he was very reluctant, so she had Riley lay in my arm on his side and she gently started to stretch his leg. She did this for a few minutes when I looked down his eyes were closed. As Cindy said, it must have felt so good to have his leg finally relaxed, not hurting and all stretched out. It was very cute to see. He slept the whole way home, and has been fast asleep for about an hour. I will give him a little more time then take him out for a short walk. All of this will help strengthen his muscles in both legs which he really needs. I do think that he is smiling just a little in the first picture. When we get home from therapy all he wants to do is get up on the couch and lay on "his" pillow.
