Ok so I haven't been able to update this thing in awhile because so much has been happening, so where do I start? Well, my sister had been emailing all of our dads previous work friends from IBM to inform them whats happened and to get a few nice memories from them to tell dad about hoping that it may help him. Only a few days later, she got a call from some people saying they've recieved emails from IBM workers over the world about dad to get him help. This help was technology that could allow him to write emails of his own and surf the internet with eye movement, you know similar to the one in Scrubs. Of course we accepted the offer, and they came in to visit dad and test him out with it. Also, dad had the tube that feeds him through his nose removed he now has one going straight into the stomache it looks alot more comfortable for him now. He has improved in spelling greatly, He is still having his up days and down days but hasn't given up. I bought him a very large pen to help him grip onto something when he tries to get some movement in his hands. Also, more exciting news... The speech therapist has refered him to Putney Hospital . Hopefully this will be great help for him to start getting some proper movement going, going back to the technology we were going to recieve, we're going to be getting the same kind of things from the hospital, so no need to be spending out! My sister also had brief plans on a family party for dad once he's been moved. Around 2 days ago he had his Trackie removed (The tube in his throat that helps moist up the air he breathes) Which since then he has been making various different noises this is hopefully one step closer to getting him talking.
So much has been improving but I think I've listed the most vital things to mention. If I can remember any more I'll be sure to add it.
