11/16/09

Paul started drinking fluids through a straw and is able to eat small diced fruit. He is also sitting upright for short periods of time. He can correctly answer where he is (Australia), who he is, the general time of year and his birthday. He was not able to answer questions like "what do you wear on your feet?" and this may be due to the PTA. They plan to transfer him to a rehab center on Thursday where he will recieve intensive rehabilitation services. I will get the contact information there and add it to the blog ASAP.

  1. Hi, Tara:

    Have you heard more about the TON? I hope the doctors can pin down the problem as early as possible and start the treatment soon. Have they seen something in the optic nerve? Is retina function OK? How about EEG?

    very Concerned,

    Glad to hear the new updates. It sounds Paul has good access to his memory and over all very alert responses!
