Its funny how we don't really notice changes in Matt's progress because we're here everyday. Dad came back this evening after being gone all week and he says he can see a big difference. I just notice small things like he was okay eating lunch in the dining room yesterday and today he ate more of his meals than he ever has.
He's still dealing with headaches which can interfere with his therapy some days. Today was one of those days and he ended up having therapy in his room. His OT is now working with electric stimulation on his right arm and its so crazy to watch! She puts electrodes on certain muscles and when she turns it on his wrist bends and his hand raises up. Matt was fascinated to watch it. Its a good sign that everything still works - he just has to reteach his brain how to make that arm function and this practice will hopefully help him relearn faster.
I hope you all have a fantastic New Year's Eve and here's to a better 2010!
