OVERDOING IT !!!!!!!!!!!

September 18th, 2007

Day 7 & 8 - Sept. 9th & 10th

We have another free day and Alex wants to get outside. We go for a walk and end up walking for 45 mins. At home he can only walk for 30 min. - anymore and he is falling down soI guess he felt so great that he could walk so well we just kept on. It was a very hot day -probably 87 or 88.

On the 10th Alex goes to therapy and he is right back where he started - some things were worse and some were better. In the afternoon we walked down to the market and back and I felt that was even to much for him. He seemed a little wobbly.

Another good thing happened - Alex told the therapist how his head feels - like someone has hit him over the head with a hammer and he feels all foggy. Also when he turns is head to the side he has to squint one eye and he sees double. She told the acupunturist and he checked him out and then put a lot of needles in his forhead and around his head. The most amazing thing happened - while eating supper he turned to look out the window and he didn’t have to squint and he didn’t see double. It was an amazing break through. I sure hope it lasts.
