I woke up early to get ready for the day, and after showering and dressing, got David up, showered and dressed and we were out the door at 8:35am. We got to ACC/RUSK by about 8:45am and registered for the Occupational Therapy session that was to start at 10am, but has Speech Therapy first. We met with Karen’s intern today, who was being supervised by the other Speech Therapist, Edna. It went very well, and David was doing well, and speaking, mostly prompted, but more and more he is reading what is written or speaking unprompted. In any case, he is getting his ideas across more without my help.
Once we were done with Speech, we headed over to the Occupational Therapy evaluation. Maneshka is his therapist, and she said she had read his file, and was very interested to meet David because she knew UNIS. Her mother works at the UN. We had a good introduction, and she did some testing of his abilities and talked about what we wanted to get out of OT. She also showed me some work to do with David to build on what we have already been doing, and I think she got his arm to move a little. A very good sign, I think. He is shrugging his right shoulder more as well. While I was working on David’s shoulder, we were on a platform bed that all of the gyms have. It is a large padded platform on a hydraulic lift, and David was laying down, and I was moving his shoulder. When we were done, I moved to get off the platform, and there was a loud and quite scary crack that sounded like my girth had broken the hydraulics of the bed. David, after a look of fright, began laughing at the idea that I had broken the bed by moving to the side. Meneshka said that it wasn’t me, and it happens all the time, but David would have none of it. He just kept pointing at me and laughing. He also is holding a gun to my head right now and making sure that I write this for the world to know!
As we were finishing up, David asked about Maneshka’s Mom and where she worked at the UN. She said that she worked in the Comptroller’s office and she wished that she had gone to UNIS, but alas, she went to a public school in New Jersey. I, of course chimed in, I wish I had gone to UNIS as well, but also had to go to a public school in New Jersey. We commiserated a bit, and she asked David where he was from, and David said New York. Said, that he wasn’t from NY really, he was from Queens, and David insisted it was the same thing. She understood.

After the OT, we went down the street to get the X-ray done, but when we arrived at the place someone told us we could go, we found out that they only did CT Scans, so it was another seven blocks to NYU Medical Center to get the X-ray done. We had some time to kill until PT, so we figured we would get it over with.
Between the X-ray and PT we had pizza on Second Ave. David was almost falling asleep on the stationary bike, and couldn’t wait to get out and on our way home. He napped for a while, and then Siobhan came and did speech. She told David all about her trip to South Africa, and we had some pasta, watched Law & Order: UK (same episodes, different accent) and our usual, boring routine – Blog, Audiobook and Object. Tonight, when I got to the part in last night’s blog about the snoring, he just said “lies”, which I knew would happen, and Isaac’s house has disintegrated in the storm (my guess is his family is lost, but who knows) and the object is a Ceremonial Ballgame Belt from Mexico.
