Our Monday



In occupational therapy today, Tina, the therapist asked Randy how the taped worked for him. He said it did help. She did a motor free visual tape, which is part of pre-driving. Tina advised Randy to check with his eye doctor to see when they think Randy will be ready for the driving test. I am assuming that as long as there is double vision, he will not be able to get behind the wheel.

In speech today, the therapist worked on word retrieval exercises. Randy had to name vegtables. He had to name as many as he could in 30 seconds. He was able to do 11.

Randy brought home a large rubber tube that he is to use to do exercises to strengthen his left foot and ankle. He tried to demonstrate at home, but Max and Daisy thought they needed to join in with the fun.

Tonight, Randy and I ran down to the Supermall. His jeans don't fit him all that well (probably from all the ice cream and gummy worms!). So he thought he needed to go to the Eddie Bauer outlet down there. He had a lot of fun going through all of the sales racks and trying on clothes. We ended up spending a lot more time down there than I had planned, but he had a great time.
