I told you!

Today instead of speech therapy, Bob had tech therapy. It was a session where they discussed how different technologies can help him. The therapist recommended an iPad game that my mom is going to get. The therapist said it is too early for Bob to play computer games. The therapist is going to make two new communication boards for Bob. Each one with eight pictures on it instead of three. One board will be for needs and it will include pictures to represent food, bathroom, shaving, etc... The other board will have fun things like tv, iPad, games, etc... Bob will continue to work on pointing to the images on the cards to communicate.

Bob's writing is still inconsistent. Today he wrote "Robert V Mark" and "Celina" very well. But he also wrote some nonsensical words.

Bob tried on a leg brace during physical therapy today and Dan said it will help him walk eventually. Bob walked with it on with Dan's help. Bob's foot did not drag on the ground, but he didn't like having it on. Dan thinks Bob's plantar faciatis is acting up.

Bob completed the tenth card of the traffic game. The next card is an intermediate, so long beginner cards! Janice really hit a home run with this gift.

In the middle of a conversation Bob blurted out "I told you!" and surprised himself, my mom and Debbie. The ladies reacted with such enthusiasm that the people around them came over to see what the commotion was all about. It was another one of those almost involuntary reactions; born out of frustration that my mom wasn't grasping what he was trying to communicate. He was unable to repeat it.

Tomorrow I am going to visit Bob earlier in the day to try to attend some of his therapies. Thanks for reading and keep the positive thoughts and prayers coming.
