Well, it has been an exciting month!  Just 6 days after having his appointment with the specialist in Vancouver,  we got a phone call from the GF strong intensive day program for acquired brain injury. James has been accepted into the program for the month of August!  James and I will be staying at the Easter seal house just 4 blocks from the hospital,  and James will get intensive rehab 5 days a week,  4-8 hours a day,  from August 6 th until August 30 th.   They will decide how long his days there will be after we get there and it will depend on his stamina.    We have decided on three main goals,  being able to take some steps on his own,  using speech as his main way of communication and more clarity to his speech,  and regaining more function of his right hand.

In physio James has been working a lot on his right hand and they have discovered that when James visualizes the tremor quieting, it does.  I have noticed that during the day,  sometimes his arm hardly tremors at all!  We see the tremor a lot more when he is tired.  He is also getting much better at weight shifting for walking,  and is leaning on me less when we walk together.  I am super excited to see what he can accomplish after the intensive rehab!
