I could tell when we first began working together,\u201d said Watson.<\/p>\n<p>From facilitating melodies with an autoharp for rhythmic cueing to utilizing specific pitches to develop word assignments, the music helped guide the patient\u2019s movements and speech progress, one session at a time.<\/p>\n<p>Even though the patient could not speak, Watson discerned that she wanted to spend time outside.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt the beginning of a physical therapy session, to the best of her ability, she let me know that she wanted to feel the sunshine now that she could comfortably walk with a cane,\u201d Watson said.<\/p>\n<p>During that physical therapy session, the patient, her husband, Watson and Kalina Caudillo, a physical therapist at UCHealth University of Colorado Hospital, went outside for a walk.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe spent the whole session walking outside, enjoying the garden and using musical patterns to help with her pacing,\u201d said Watson.<\/p>\n<p>The patient and her spouse held hands throughout the walking session. Towards the end of the session, she paused to sit on a garden bench. Her husband released her hand so she could balance herself on the bench.<\/p>\n<p>After they separated, the patient reached out for her husband\u2019s hand again and, speaking for the first time since her stroke, said: \u201cHold my hand.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It was an emotionally charged moment for everyone present.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was inspiring to see the progress she made both physically and mentally, and how music therapy played a role in her recovery,\u201d said Watson.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrom that moment on, we knew she and her husband had a strong bond, and that bond would be a key part of her rehabilitation process.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In a Celebrating You nomination, Caudillo wrote: \u201cPreston\u2019s passion to help her communicate, impact her walking and create an atmosphere of joy did not go unnoticed.
