Another stellar day for our friend Jon! He surprised me around noon by calling me on his cell phone (which has been unusable for the past three weeks for complicated reasons) to ask me my opinion on the CNS site in Bakersfield. "Please tell me your opinion on why you think CNS will help me to become more self aware, responsible, and self-sufficient," he said. Apparently his homework from speech therapy this morning was to use any resources at his disposal to become more involved in his own plan for discharge from Community, and then to report back from memory what he had learned. He told me that he is finding that writing things down as he learns them is helpful for his recovering short term memory, and has been using his memory book more and more without prompting. All good stuff! Jon also got some of the wires in his jaw clipped today, so he is now able to enjoy Mac n Cheese among other things. Hooray, Mac n Cheese! He continues to blow us away with his rapid progress. Keep those prayers and love and good thoughts coming....every little bit helps!
More tomorrow,
Kristin
