Today we got out of bed when the aide arrived – very lazy!  She got David washed and dressed, and I took a shower and we were out the door in under an hour.  We walked up Fifth Ave to Cohen’s Fashion Optical and ordered David’s new glasses.  He made the decision very quickly, which was great and we were done and on our way home.  We stopped by the lounge at the building to finalize the reservation for December 15, and so David could take a look at the space.

We had lunch, and then Jennifer arrived at about 1pm.  Rose, the Physical Therapist was next to come, and we went down to the club level again to walk in the workout room in the gym.  It was great to have the space and David didn’t have to navigate quite as much.  He is walking more securely every day.

The we had a great visit from JoAnne Hurt.  It is great to see David able to get his ideas across.  Even when there are moments when I have no idea what he is trying to say, we persist, and finally get to the point – usually.

At 6pm the Speech Therapist came and worked with David.  She works using tones, so David repeats phrases with a rhythm and music.  We have some worksheets to work from as well.

We caught up with “Homeland” and then it was off to bed for David.
