Week 8
HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL!!! We have much to be thankful for this thanksgiving day. Daniel finished up on Monday with his last therapy evaluation. Wednesday was his last occupational therapy session for this year. They will be focusing on speech and physical therapy. Couple of things we have noticed in Daniels recovery is he seems to get frustrated (a little upset) in planning for activities that involve preparation. He states "why do we have to do this?" Then we notice he disappears into the living room or family room and is found in a chair reading a book. It appears to be the same response with his speech therapy assignments. He gets frustrated after a short period of time (10-15 minutes). We are also noticing and working with Daniel along with speech therapy on objects. We noticed at the dinner table when asked what a particular vegetable was, he couldn't remember. It was broccoli. Daniel is slowly getting stronger as he continues to exercise. Physical therapy will be focusing on extended balance and endurance. We are thankful for his continued improvements and for your continued prayers on his behalf. He is doing wonderful! We're all watching the miracle.

Happy Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a lot of progress has been made.
Preparations might feel tedious to Daniel - completely understandable, because oftentimes they are. His frustration is only natural, but it will pass as he continues to progress.
Each therapy session moves his progress forward, and his frustration will diminish as he progresses further, and will disappear eventually.
It has only been about 2 months and his regular therapy sessions have just started - amazing miraculous progress for such a short time.
Keep up the wonderful work, Daniel!
Continued prayers and virtual hugs!
Happy Thanksgiving! Each day is something to be thankful for. It must be frustrating for Daniel and I am sure it is so normal to feel that way. We are so thankful for his progress and we are sure he will continue to progress. As always, I thoughts and prayers are with you all.
