Larry's Update - 4/16/09

Larry had a great day today. The Occupational Therapist came by and evaluated Larry and said there was no need for him to return to do therapy with Larry. He encouraged Larry to do as many things as possible and not to worry about overload. He advised Larry to not get frustrated but to stop and pause if he runs into an obstacle. He feels that Larry’s eyesight will improve to the point where he won’t even notice he has a problem. The eyes are amazing.
Larry spent a lot of time going around the house and doing things including identifying objects. He did a couple dishes, read a lot, spent some time on the phone with his son Jason, who lives in Italy. He e-mailed some people and talked to a couple people on the phone. He handled this quite well.
This evening he spent some time reading an online book about C++ .... oh, joy!!! Just how I would like to spend my evening. I teased Larry and told him I could picture him going to work and having no trouble programming, etc., but that he probably couldn't find his pencil. He laughed.
He has a lot of energy tonight -- I may have to tie him down once he gets going. I also didn't see as much repeating of sentences. Thank you for all your prayers -- they are helping.
