Given the universe's need to maintain equilibrium, it only makes sense that such a bad night would follow such a good day. Josh couldn't sleep last night. He said he was anxious; he said he was afraid. For whatever reason, he just could not sleep. Which means that Mary could not sleep either. FINALLY it was time to get up. We got him dressed and retrieved breakfast. He rolled up to the table, took 3 bites of french toast, and ...
Mary couldn't get him to wake up. She rolled him to PT while he was still mostly asleep.
PT was unremarkable, as usual. Josh did leg stretches for an hour then we returned to the room where he ate nasty hard and cold potatoes.
He had neuropsychology at 10:30. Again, unremarkable.
Then Josh had OT. He kept falling asleep, so it was a real struggle to get anything done. But here's the cool thing. Before leaving neuropsychology, Schraa asked Josh to draw 6 figures -- strange shapes; nothing recognizable. Halfway through OT (30 minutes into class), Schraa showed up and asked Josh to re-draw the 6 figures he drew at the end of neuropsych. Josh did it! He remembered all 6 figures! Schraa said that Josh's right temporal lobe (shape recognition) seems to be recovering while his left temporal lobe (speech) isn't.
Then was lunch. Josh took so long to eat lunch that he had no time to take a nap despite therapy blocking out a 90-minute nap break after lunch. So he went to ST tired, and he fell asleep in speech. Allison brought him back to his room and he napped for half an hour. Josh pretty much slept through all his therapies today.
