New Year Week
Not much going on this week. Keith is still a bit under the weather. Lost appetite and not up to moving around very much. He did however ask to go see Dreamgirls. This he enjoyed thoroughly and I believe it did him good to get out of the house. We have encountered an increasing degree of spasticity in his right arm just this week. I have found that on occaisions when Keith is very tense it becomes very difficult to accomplish good range of motion. I have him take deep breaths and try to time the movements as he inhales. Still, I am not sure why we are suddenly running into this problem. Perhaps it may relate to the fact that he is completley off of Lyrica now. We are no longer getting voluntary thumb movement. Keith is still getting many new words that he has never used before but seems unable to repeat them. The fact that he is saying new words though not repeated is a different experience itself. He has indicated that he would like to venture out on New Year Eve for awhile just to be part of the celebration. I am all for it.
Well, Happy New Year to all.
