iPad, Xbox, and A
It's been ten months today since Aron's accident. My parents continue to see him each day, often being present for therapy which ranges from working at the bedside to being supported by a walking machine. He continues to receive therapy four days a week and he is in good physical health.
A few recent highlights of the past month:
The Dunn Family bought Aron an iPad, which can be loaded with various apps to help him communicate with us. Right now he seems to be interested in the iPad and will touch the screen. He seems very interested in photos and videos.
My parents brought Aron's Xbox and at first he didn't do much of anything with it, but he's started to hold the control and manipulate the buttons and trigger.
The anti-seizure medication has been reduced and will continue to be reduced further if Aron doesn't show signs of being at risk for a seizure. This is a big step as my parents feel the meds make Aron apathetic and tired.
A recent EEG showed slow brain waves on the left side, but no seizures.
My mom has been working to get Aron to write, and he made a very rough "A".
My dad and mom work tirelessly with Aron and remain hopeful for his eventual recovery. Through all this, we are thankful he is still with us and making steps in the right direction.
