Some really great news came in from Kessler this morning!
Sean’s therapist called Frank very excited to tell him that Sean is communicating via hand signals. They have taught Sean to use his hands to signal yes and no.
The therapist asked Sean 20 questions this morning and Sean answered all 20 correctly!
She did throw in some curve balls to try and trick Sean. She asked if he grew up in Newark and Sean signaled “no”. She asked if Sean grew up in Trenton and Sean signaled “no”. She asked if Sean grew up in Robbinsville and Sean signaled “yes”. She asked Sean if he knew he was at Kessler and Sean signaled “yes”. She asked if Sean was in any pain and Sean signaled “no”.
If you want a complete list of the 20 questions and Sean’s responses, please ask Frank (JUST KIDDING!!!!!.....don’t bug Frankie for details).
Sean’s eyes were wide open during this morning’s session also…..which he has been doing more often.
Sean still has a long way to go, BUT this is a big step and hopefully the first of many breakthroughs.
Way to go Sean!!!
More to come soon. Steve
