I wanted to be sure to blog this so I don't forget about it. The last couple of weeks, I've noticed Bob doing more thinking skills. Sure he still has aphasia and sequencing problems (and the rest), but his brain is definitely beginning to join thoughts and relate things to each other. Like when I was talking about the tree company we hired, the phone rang and it was them and their number showed up on the tv caller id. Bob, actually expressed that to me, saying that right while we were talking about them, they came up on the caller id, the same people we were talking about.

He's reminded me of things, like did I lock the gate after mowing. Did I put out the garbage. We were looking at shingles and he said he liked the ones that were more dimensional! I don't know.... there's just been a whole lot of little things, on a regular basis, that shows me that his brain is putting 2 and 2 together and doing a lot more thinking of late. He still has aphasia and exhaustion that makes it hard for him to stay alert, but I see something going on in there, and I like it
