Sidney and I spent several hours with Kirk at the clinic yesterday getting to watch him work. Sidney even did some exercises with him and checked his math. That's a switch.
Kirk is getting a little more endurance every day as well as focus. We do continue to see interesting things. He can write but not read. You can tell him a decent length sentence, all at once and he can write it. He continues to work on identifying common objects like pens, paper, balls and socks. His writing is sloppily his.
He can also play connect 4. He and Sidney played several games and had fun. They each won a game and I helped Sidney with a third game. Their strategies are funny.
He still sings to the radio. It seems that things that don't require the concentrated recall are easier, like songs.
He always walks us to the door and yesterday he told Sidney "I love you Beans". We have called Sidney Bean since the day she was born because she was so little. But I haven't heard him say it since the accident.
It is decided that we will pick him up tomorrow at 10:30 and head to our friends. We will eat and hang out there before we take him back to his house. We won't bring him home yet. It is still to confusing the division between our house and his need to be away. Please pray for peace and happiness for him and for me to be attuned to his needs so I can make sure he doesn't back track or get overwhelmed.
Sidney and I will go to church tonight and spend Christmas morning at home. Pray for us to be peaceful and to feel love.
We wish you a joyful and beautiful Christmas.
