Inspiration!!!

Speech therapist just left. They come out twice a week to work with him in his cognitive function (?? It's all there)
All of the tools they bring are too easy for him. Not even a challenge. I practice on my own with him and make it a challenge. It's not hard to do, kind of common sense. She asked why he was doing so well. Because we practice. What do you think we do 24 hours a day here? Just sit here and do nothing? Psssstttt we would both be in the asylum for insane people if we did that. Nooooooo I have all kind of things we do throughout the day that's different kinds of therapy. I just incorporate it into our daily activities. I thought that's what you were supposed to do?
And I can already tell you it won't be four months before he can eat.
He was so pissed at me last night for not giving him a cheeseburger!! I was like woah, baby steps. I won't repeat the words that he said back to me but all of you that know us can insert them yourselves 😂
I pacified him with water as that's all he can have for now. He's getting good at it too. Drinks three small Dixie cups a day of water. No coughing 👍 and I can tell it's getting easier on him. Now he's not ready for a cheeseburger but I would think that he could be put on soft foods soon. No appointment scheduled yet for another swallowing test but I'll be asking for one next week. Need to step this up. He's motivated more than you can imagine!
He wants to get out of bed and simply walk to the door..... He wants to eat, go outside, ride in a car, play his drums, get eggs from his chickens and then some!!
He amazes me in some new way everyday!!!
If he's not an inspiration for you, he should be!! He's my inspiration!
XOXO
