5/24/10 - Day 21

Day 21! Three weeks today...

When I arrived, Steven was being pushed down the hall by his speech therapist...it was the first time I have seen him in regular clothes! It was great! He smiled as soon as he saw me...:)

The therapist told me, he did great today. In OT&PT, they had him walking with assistance of course...I think it's going to be quite a while before he will be able to do that. God forbid he falls. He also got to each his first meal! Ground ham...he didn't like it so much. Told me yuck...lol

He told his speech therapist where he went to high school, that he lived in Niagara Falls, and that his parents built their house. Which was all right! Woohoo!

It was just Steven and I for most of the afternoon...which was nice. We tried to play checkers, which lasted about 2 minutes. He flipped thru some magazines. He tried using my phone...was having quite the conversation with Cindy...haha who was not on the other end of the phone...but he was happy.

He had a few visitors today...Lisa, his friend Pauly, and Aunt Bessy :) I think he really likes visitors...almost every time someone walks in he smiles. It's a beautiful sight to see.

He still has a lot of confusion too. He asked Katie if she was getting married...lol. Sometimes he knows you...sometimes he doesn't. He called Katie, Marissa. Not sure who Marissa is :)

He also has some funny moments. Pat asked him who Katie was, and he said "Ho"...then he kicked her lightly and said, "just kidding"! Haha...He has a sense of humor :)

He seems to go into different moods...Fun, agitated-mean, tired, repeat. During his mean stage today, he said "why are you being such a bitch?" OMG...The problem is I just wanted to laugh, but I know if I do, it will just make it worse. I know this isn't really him, so I can't get mad...just gotta laugh.

All in all, I thought it was a good day :)

Thanks for all the prayers...love you all <3
