Much better

So I finally dragged mom home for the first night since January 12th (the move) to sleep in her own bed. I think this was really beneficial to her and it was long over due. We brought Brian clean clothes, new games and lots of yummy snacks. He practically can walk by himself and is back to where he was prior seizure. We still walk him with a gait belt and a walker but by the time he gets to his room, he picks the walker off the ground, folds it up leans it against the wall and walks to bed with out any help. Since he moves so fast and is determined to do what he wants to do we just kind of let him. He is still a fall risk but is much much better and is almost walking by himself. He was wearing his 501 levis we brought him from home, which is just huge to us because last week he was making things with tape and spoons so the fact that can put levis on and button the buttons is just amazing to us. He still doesn't remember Christmas but was able to point out people from the Christmas picture....like Yazzy and Brayden. He wasn't able to put his finger on Lydon but after we told him he agreed. He just needs stimulation at all times and needs to walk off all his energy. We are going to check in with our awesome rehab doctor (Dr. Moore) just to touch base and let her know of Brian's progress. We are definitely not anywhere close to the end of this journey but we are getting closer.
