This evening's visit went well. Much better than this afternoon.
Getting Ken to eat is quite difficult. Splitting an atom of hydrogen with nothing more than a plastic spoon and a tic-tac would be easier. Containing the subsequent thermonuclear reaction with nothing more than tin-foil and paper-clips would be a welcomed task. (too much?) Seriously, I hope they can get him to start eating tomorrow.
Ken's speech is MUCH better. He had two or three sounds that he used for everything and now he has a good vocabulary of more than 20 words at least.
I think Ken is really starting to understand the situation he is in. His patience is shorter, as is his temper (which is COMPLETELY understandable . . . I'm not complaining, just describing details). Visiting hours are two hours long, and I think taking the whole 2 hours, might just be too much. It is hard to leave early, but I think we might have to start keeping the visits a bit shorter. Not sure yet.
Night night for now. More tomorrow.

I am SO glad last night's visit went a little better. Baby steps, I would assume! Thank you for keeping us posted!
ReplyDeleteYea, baby steps explains it very well. Ya know what's weird, is that even though the steps are tiny, the feeling inside is just so big. I hate to make this anology because I have not had kids myself, but it feels like what I imagine it would feel like when your child takes a step for the first time . . . . what I imagine that must feel like.
