9-12-11 (Monday) First real day of Rehab

(Red lettered phrases are copies of posts from FaceBook, archived here for those who do not have the opportunity to view it there) 

As one would expect, Isaac is not caring much for the increased schedule. His frustration manifests into the phrase "S/He/ is trying to hurt me" when he has had enough and cannot communicate that he needs a quiet place.
1st day of real therapy. Liked PT until they started back to the room. Guess he wanted to stay, since he pitched such a fit. More PT in a few minutes, small break, OT, then speech. Afternoon time he can rest
He is not liking the therapy too much. PT is not letting him do what he wants to do, so "they're hurting me." Speech therapy went decently. OT played soccer, with no fits at all.Neuro Psych took a bit to warm up, but got better. Seems PT got the bad end of the stick today.

Dad and Jesse came this evening with a present for mom and stayed until Isaac fell asleep. He met them at the front door, as he and mom were looking out the window for them when they drove up. He is giving hugs more frequently, and gave mom a kiss. (that requires coordination of the lips and mouth, in case you haven't thought about it for awhile....:)

Jesse crawled up into his bed with him and watched the football game as he fell asleep.

Churches in East Texas are praying for Isaac and family.

..and your prayers are doing good work. Isaac is still responding at a "miraculous" rate in his rehabilitation. We believe prayer will heal him fully.
