Monday update
After being awake so long yesterday and with this morning's OT and PT back-to-back we have one tired dude! When Heidi, his Physical Therapist, brought him back to bed for a nap before lunch he smiled and looked so happy. He is sleeping right now with Classical Music for Studying playing gently from my phone on his chest. His brain needs a well-deserved break if even for a half-hour.
Very happy to see him working so hard. So far all the Therapists have been patient and kind.
I found another stroke blog and contacted the owner. Alvin is a 60 year old man who had a stroke 3 years ago, also at age 57. I'm not even sure what country in which he resides (thinking UK) , but I DO know that he is in New Zealand right now celebrating the 3rd anniversary since his event. He says even after 3 years he still sees improvement. He's offered to be available should we have any questions or positive stories. This is very comforting to me.
Here is to a good day (albeit sleepy) with small, but positive steps.
