Tuesday April 14, 2009

Hello,

It's now Tuesday, April 14 I got back to Ponoka yesterday. Progression is definitely slow but there is always a little something to move forward on. Today was the meeting for family with the therapists and the doctor, all went well in general and everyone has seen an increase in mobility and response's.

The challenge now will be to get more direct responses that are consistent to questions and related activities. Physio had him out right after lunch and gave him a good workout.

We then had the meeting and Chris decided to take a couple hours of nap time was great because he was a little more attentive with the directions of the speech therapist.

Will be changing his meals and times up in the chair to be more effective to take advantage of his alertness.

The Drugs and other tweaking will continue over the next couple of weeks so patience is the order of the day. Water therapy is back sort of although he will not be in the water tomorrow during rec-therapy he will be going in on Thursday so I will have to be persistent and keep tugging and pushing until all rec-therapyis taking place in the water.

Will keep you informed as it happens. Did not get out for a walk today as there was quite a snowstorm happening here all day, we did however have several walks through the facility down to the lunchroom cafeteria and then back here to to his room to watch a little bit of hockey highlights. We watched the Canada game and then the draft take place. Chris is looking forward to a nicer day tomorrow with some warmth from the sun to enjoy a walk along pathways.

Thank you,

Kevin
