Scary ... He is not quite at a stalemate, but probably is not progressing as fast as he can due to his frustration, which triggers his temper.

Needless to say ... we didn't stay long at all. We are going to go back this week, but if our presence brings on that type of behavior again, we will probably have to change our visiting schedule to maybe once a month.

Keep pissing him off, Slap!  That anger will turn to determination and motivation.  The more he is reminded that there are other places to go beside therapy and meal time, the more he's gonna bear down in therapy to speed his recovery!

At least that's got me moving when I was paralyzed.

Rock on, Morph! :rock

We went to see Morph last night ...

He is doing well. He is still putting on some weight and it really looks good on him. He said that he is lifting weights as part of his PT so he now looks very much like the last I saw him before the accident. Speaking with one of his aids (who is a real cool guy) he is now walking unaided for about 40 ft. I think that he won't be leaving that place until he is completely ambulatory.

I missed last weeks visit, but from Mars01 and BadBoy58 told me ... he has found TV again. I guess he was so zoned in on the TV, he pretty much ignored them (not on purpose). Last night he was zoned in on the TV again, but this time we forced him to pay attention by constantly asking him questions and keep the conversation going non-stop. Personally, I think zoning on the TV is a good sign in the fact that he is "zoned" and concentrating intensely on what he is watching thus exercising the brain with all the input.

There isn't any mind blowing news to report ... just that he is still on the road to recovery and he is still progressing. I think with an accident like this, the progression of recovery shows some stunning progressions at the beginning, but then it reaches a point where those stunning progressions disappear and all progress from this point on will still come, but only as time allows and the effort put forth.

TxMom ... he (I) read your card last night and he was most appreciative of your kind words and thoughts from you and your family.
