It's The Weekend

What a week! Rob is making such fantastic physical progress. He's gaining stamina and his balance is improving tremendously.
Following a vision exam, Rob was given a pair of non-prescription glasses, taped on the lenses in a way that should help his eyes converge and improve the double vision he's experiencing. It's a chore to talk him into wearing them.
Cognitively, Rob's not improving as quickly, but he's doing better. Repetition and constant review is helping. Rob's Speech Therapist gives us worksheets to do together. Sometimes he provides such funny answers - logical to him, but not the answer that's being looked for.
Next week, they're adding a vision group to his therapy schedule. Monday, they want to try him in one of the outpatient therapy groups from the Traurig House to see if he'll be appropriate for that program the following week. Rob is pretty insistent that he wants to be discharged home, rather than discharged to Traurig. His Speech Therapist asked him to keep an open mind. We'll see what happens.
