Friends from church visited today. He not only recognized them, but knew their names right of the bat. Later when I was leaving, I asked him my name; he thought for a moment, then said with a grin, "Brittany". I told him to guess again, and he said, "Juliet". I told him my name, thinking he didn't remember. And, as I left he said, "Bye Sweetie." Which is what he calls me. The entire time of name remembering, Bob was grinning, like I know what your name is; now I'm playing.
Cognitive therapy consisted of naming opposites and synonyms. Score: 100% with no hesitations! Naming pictures is still about 0-10%. It was hard to concentrate with the roommates tv loud.
He fed himself well at lunchtime. His eyes are focusing better today. He didn't over-reach his food as many times as usual. However, many of the pictures blended together in the learning activities. (Maybe that's why he can't name pictures. They blend together to make something completely new.)
A PRAYER FOR TODAY FROM JOEL OSTEEN
"Father in heaven, I choose to trust that You are working things out for my good. I choose to stand in faith, believing that my season of breakthrough is coming. Give me Your strength and peace as I patiently wait on You. In Jesus' Name. Amen."
