Today Bob had physical therapy, occupational therapy and speech therapy as well as group occupational therapy.
Bob had speech therapy outside today to enjoy the sunny day. He was very talkative and even said the numbers one through ten after Caitlin wrote out the numerals on the board. Bob also practiced saying the days of the week. Sometimes he would say "oneday".
Bob played the word tile game well again, today. He only tripped up a bit with the word "April". Bob got "brave" and "close" right away. He continues to play the traffic game daily, one card per day, but he missed it today because of the birthday party.
My mom organized a birthday party at the dinning room on Bob's floor. She brought cake and Brasilian docinhos. Jason was able to leave work to attend and met me and the kids at Spaulding. Bruce and Simone also came to celebrate. Lots of staff werer there, too and we sang "happy birthday" both in English and Portuguese. Bob sang very well. He was happy and in a good mood. Bob had cake and a few docinhos. Everyone had a nice time.
After the party ended and everyone left, Simone described to my mom and Bob her impressions of the skilled nursing facilities she visited earlier in the day. Simone went back to the places my mom had liked the most to gather some more information and be another set of eyes. Bob listened attentively and followed along well while Simone provided details of her visits.
Tomorrow my mom will meet with Bob's case worker to discuss his progress. Thanks for reading and keep the positive thoughts and prayers coming.
(ah I forgot the email alerts go a day late and now I see this post too)- sounds like the party was wonderful! Could you send me Bob's room # at Spaulding? I have a card that needs an address :)
