Therapy Thursdays

Harvey had the most productive and effective therapy day today.  First, he hopped on a patient's bed in the neuro acute care unit who said as we were leaving "that just made my day."  He then took a walk with a patient around the unit.  Next, he received a couple of treats from a patient (who tried to eat one himself) trying to re-learn how to walk.  We then proceeded to the burn unit where he sat in on physical therapy with a small boy. Harvey distracted him by allowing the boy to brush him while the physical therapist stretched his painful burned hand.  He then visited a toddler who cuddled with Harvey on the floor. Harvey made sure to kiss his feet.  Best of all, in the lobby, a parent called out "There's Harvey! That's the dog I was talking about!"  Good therapy man!
