Well we survived the weekend and Gord managed a whole game of crib with his brother Richard and sis in law, Vonnie....his numbers are there now we just have to work on his words. Each day he is getting brighter and brighter in his eyes and it is so good to see.
We had a beautiful dinner on Sunday evening which was cooked by Richard and Vonnie and Jenna and brought in to the dining room where we all met to eat. Gord can have lunch and dinner down in the cafeteria if anyone wishes to join us on any day. Outside meals can be brought in as well. It is quite pleasant in the dining room.
As this is the start of a new week I am told that I should see great improvement in his strength by the end of the week. He is doing so well pulling himself up on a pole in physio, his room, and the bath house. Very promising...and he once again lifted his right leg for me! I know these are just little things but they all are adding up.
I really don't have a lot to talk about....mainly because I don't have any complaints! EVERYONE is happy about that.
My project now is to create a photo album of Gord's life and all his activities to be able to review with him and give him the words and language connected to what he does in his normal life. He needs to be able to speak words of things that he is familiar with. At the present time those words come out all mixed up.
If anyone has pictures of Maui or the lake or family or friends or Spartan Controls from the past or present - please bring them in.
All for today,
Love to all
Sheila and Gord
