Update for 2nd Injection - Day 4

I'm reporting second hand today via Missy.

Dad says that Mom had a very good day. He was excited about something that happened last night. They were eating cheese and crackers, and they got down to the last piece of cheese. He told Mom "that's the last one maybe we should split it." He said Mom picked it up, bit off half, and handed the other half to him. Obviously she understood what he was saying and acted on it. It is impressive to me, because it wasn't a direct instruction but rather a suggestion and she figured out what to do. There is definitely some rational thought going on inside!

Last night they also watched TV and she was very calm, relaxed and was able to sit and watch the TV for an extended time with Dad. Each evening before bed, and each morning after they get up Dad runs through her mental exercises (ABC's etc) and Dad said she is now nailing them. He is sure that she is re-learning. Perhaps he can reteach other skills that she has recently lost, or things that she used to be able to do to help him.

There is no doubt Mom is improved from these treatments. Many of the changes are subtle, but they affect her attention, her focus and her reasoning. And in total are improving her quality of life, and will improve Dad's quality of life. Still hoping the improvements continue.
