We had a nice longweekend with James home this past weekend.  I picked up a connect four game and he had a great time winning against all of us!  James is working hard on all his therapies.  He has a lot of exercises to do each day for his speech and language therapy.  His swallow is still a bit slow and not timed well enough to take anything by mouth yet.  He also has a bit of a cough that wont go away.  We are hoping that the exercises will help and he is going to get another assessment done either the last week of October or the first week of november.  If his swallow still isnt better he may have to go to a specialist for a scope of his throat.  It is possible that there is some scarring that could be getting in the way.  Last week he had an EEG because the doctor thought that the tremors in his right arm could be seizure activity ( I didnt think it was, since it shakes all  day and then stops when he falls asleep)  He was on the EEG for an hour and a half and his arm shook the whole time,  but no seizure activily showed up.  So they are pretty sure it is a brain injury related tremor.  It may just go away with time,  but the doctor sent a video of the tremor to a specialist in Edmonton.  James new chair should be arriving in the next week!  Then he will have an ipad mounted on it at the end of October.  The ipad will have his communication program on it.  James is super excited about halloween and I am planning to bring him home on the 31st for a super long weekend that week.
