Heal Nick

Cognitively Nicholas has been working on speaking in simple and compound sentence structures. Through out the week he was asked to explain his actions in full, comprehensive sentences. To create a little fun we play Simon Says, where he has to give commands in also in full sentences.

Physically he continues to work on his balance and hand-eye reflexes. Today being relatively warm, he took a fairly long walk, practiced standing without assistance and worked on his hand-eye reflexes. See the pictures posted to the Photo Gallery.

There will be no posting next Sunday, as I will be out of the country.

I was away all last week. Consequently, there is nothing to report in detail. All reports from the week were good. It’s always energizing to get away and at the same time to return to see how Nicholas has done in the absence. Progress inches along.

I’ll be away on Sunday, departing Saturday, so the posting is a few days early.

Nicholas is slowly attaining a goal set a few years ago: To be walking primarily with a cane by October 2009. He may not make it by then but he’s certainly trying very hard and getting more comfortable. As always pictures speak for themselves. Take a look at the 2 photos posted on the Photo Gallery.

Not much to report on for the week except Nicholas achieved a personal best on the treadmill Monday by lasting 35 minutes at variable speeds without any rests and covered almost 1/2 mile. This was a 1/10th of a mile more than the last time he did 35 straight minutes.

To any of the APTA PASS Summit participants checking on this website, welcome. Thanks for allowing us the privilege of attending and participating. We look forward to your achievements in attaining your 2020 goals.
