still moving forward

Mark has now started a pretty consistent regimen of therapy each day. He has a minimum of 3 hours spread throughout the day which includes physical, occupational and speech therapy. His speech is definitely coming back from that last mini seizure and sounds pretty good...much like he did before surgery. His right hand is also showing some improvements and we even got him to play dominoes with us over the weekend. His said his therapy makes him feel like his is having fun in kindergarten again, because he gets to stack alot of blocks...we may have to challenge him to a game of Jenga! Still having some trouble with the right leg and in fact he accidentally slid out of the bed the other night when he was working his way to the edge to get ready for the bathroom. He said he was pretty gracefully but still ended up banging up his hand and looks like he also may have a slight sprain on his right ankle which makes it harder to try and get up an do walk training on it :( The rehab facility will be doing an evaluation on Tuesday to see where he's at and will recommend a length of stay at that point. Dr. Cloughesy and Dr. Liau will be having tumor board on Wednesday to review everything and will get back to us regarding recommendations for the next steps.
