Well,  I guess that the presentation to the nurses went well,  they have asked me to speak to the next class next week!  Last time I made notes on my phone and pretty much winged it.  This time I have put together a power point.  James is going to help me this time too.  The students are going to come to his room.  I think that it will be good for James to see see some young people.  I can get him to help me push the buttons for the power point too.  We might practice a bit this weekend! 

He was in his chair for 4 hours again today.  Today he did a great job of showing off for the occupational therapist.  He opened and closed his hand and kind of arm wrestled with her too.  He got a new head rest for a trial today too.  This head rest has less support,  to help him build neck strength back up.  This afternoon his favourite nurse, Stacy, was working with him.  He was very cooperative with her.  He was much more alert in his chair today too.  He worked really hard trying to move his hands to touch things on his tray.  He only dozed off for about the last 10 minutes in his chair.  He was much more wiggly when he was up today too.  I was constantly putting his feet back on the footrests or asking him to put his head back on the headrest.
