Today was a very quiet day.  We had Physical Therapy with Michelle, and David has more strength in his right leg, which I discovered this evening when we did some more exercises on our own.  He starts off slowly, but once he gets the hang of the rep, he gets more strength.  I think that this comes from the apraxia which makes it difficult for him to know what his body is supposed to do.  It often takes a few demonstrations from the PT for David to get what it is they are asking him to do.  He works very hard though, once he understands and gets the feel for what to do.  We also did some work on speech in the afternoon on our own.  He wasn’t as vocal today as he has been.

We had visits from PD and Michael from Washington, which was fun.  They told us that “One Man, Two Guvnors” was about the funniest thing they have ever seen.  Too bad it is closing today.  Then we had folks from Fieldston stop by – first the Schein’s followed by the Coogan’s.  Both with delicious goodies.  Also, from UNIS, we had visits from Sheila and Jackie, which was very nice.

Tomorrow, because of the holiday, there are no therapies at all, so I will do some work on his right leg and do the arm stretches that Amanda showed me as well as continue with the Speech Therapy exercises on the iPad.
