We got a new computer program for Matt today that I'm hoping will help him communicate easier. He's been using charts of words, but the book of pages is quickly becoming to large to be useful. Someone came from Assistive Technology today and loaded a program on our laptop that is going to allow him to create so many more lists and pages all connected to each other. He can navigate through the different pages, click on words he wants to add to a sentence and then the computer will help him read the words. It should be interesting to see how well it works.
Matt's been trying to track down the head nurse here to remove the last of the staples and she finally came by today. He strongly implied that he wanted them out today and when she left to get the kit, he got this worried look on his face. He thought he had pressured her into removing them and that the cut wasn't actually healed completely, so he made me check it out. As if I have any idea! He's quite thrilled to have them all out.
Matt also had his second acupuncture treatment today and he said that he felt little tingles in his right hand this time. The feeling didn't really last and he doesn't think it's anything yet, but I'm choosing to be a little excited about it.
