Week 3 of therapy

Its hard to believe its been 3 weeks already, but at the same time I cant believe its only be 3 weeks. He is able to bend his knee at 60 degrees now. They put a 2 lb weight around his ankle for the side lifts, because they were getting too easy. He also has a new exercise to start doing at home. He has both legs together, with a stretchy band around both his thighs and has to lift his leg open and close. They said everything is looking good. Next Tue he can start doing 25% of his body weight.

He got to try the bike at therapy today, couldn't quite pedal all the way around, but he was able to a few times towards the end.
