#46 Update, July 3rd

This is a 2 week update, sorry I got behind. Life happens while we are making other plans. Sean is reading more, writing more and actually drew a picture the other day, it is on the refrigerator. The new physical therapist doctor came to evaluate him Thursday. He is getting stronger everyday but the muscles in his right shoulder, arm and hand are weak. This new therapist is going to work specifically on those weak muscles and his coordination 3 times a week instead of the twice a week he was getting. He may be reintroduced to a computer soon. The goal is to introduce him to things that he can successfully achieve. Challenging him is fine but frustrating him too much is counter productive. He is beginning to engage in a conversation sometimes rather than just answering questions asked of him. We went to a Deli and grocery store the other day and asked if he wanted to go and he did. The outing was very nice for him not too long as his endurance is still not up to speed. He is staying up more and more but when he wants to sleep in or take a nap it is good for him to do so. He is beginning to feel more comfortable being out in public which is great, he said he would like to see the cousins up in Denver. We are working on some plans for him to see the cousins soon.
