Therapy has started.

David started therapy today. He got to dress himself and brush his teeth. That must be difficult with the broken teeth that he has. Next week he should have something done about those. The doctors have recommended that when David has visitors that it happens in a group and not throughout the whole day. Maybe after he gets into his therapy routine we can find a good time for people to visit after work. He is only awake about 1-2 hours of the day and with therapy starting he may not be awake for anyone's visit. After he gets stronger, this will change and he will be able to interact more. Mom was talking to him and asking David if he wanted to see some of his brothers and sisters. So she named off some names and mostly David would just say, "mmmmm." When she said Mandy, he said "Mandy." When she said Trevor, he said "Trevor." So Mom asked them to come and visit. When he saw Trevor he asked him if he had any new girlfriends. Mandy brought him some strawberries and he really liked eating those. Trevor was talking to David about his green cast. Mom asked him if he could have chosen his cast color what would it have been. He responded that he would have picked orange which is his favorite color. Mom asked him if he liked playing the piano. At first he said no, then he said yes. He now has a small keyboard in his room so that he can play if he wants to as part of his therapy. It will be interesting to see if he does remember how to play. David has started to try out some Mackey humor, but just by looking at his face you wouldn't know that he was telling a joke. He shows no emotions on his face. If you remember how David would mimic people and repeat back what someone had just said but in a higher pitched voice then this will make more sense. Mandy was talking about a root canal that she had gotten. She said, "Oh, I didn't like mine. It hurt." David repeated it back, but in a slightly higher pitched voice. A pure Davidism! :>
