Thursday 27Mar

 Happy Thursday! 

Brian had another busy day today! He started the day with some ADLs with his OT today. They created the new morning routine for him yesterday that he used that today to help him know what came next in his morning routine. He did really great doing all those self care activities. Following that session he had speech. Today for speech he had a short session because his speech therapist was pretty booked up today. 

He had PT next and did a lot of walking. He walked from the gym to the T. Rec gym and then we played a few games down there. We first played Skeech (Brian kicked my butt in that game 15-1) then we played some air hockey. He did so much better in air hockey this week compared to last week. He also beat me in air hockey. Then after air hockey we played catch with the frisbee. This was definitely challenging for Brian because he has to maintain his balance standing while throwing and catching the frisbee. He did so well with it though and did way better than I had expected with his balance. This was really cool to see. 

Then he had manual therapy again today. Today she worked on his left shoulder and did some stretching, some massage, and some needling to help with pain management as well as improve his range of motion. After this we went to T. Rec again for an appointment with his T. Rec therapist. Brian worked with him on some gaming. Brian always loved video games so getting to play again was really nice for him. He played Madden today and it was as if he never stopped gaming. He still has great hand/eye coordination with the game and still knew all the buttons and how to play. He also did a little bit of Cornhole in order to help out with those shoulder too.
