Tomorrow is my moms birthday and all my mom thinks about is my brother Mark. My brother went to therapy on
Friday as usual but he remembered Moms
birthday when he was ask what day it was today he said "it is
January 30
th. and my Moms birthday is tomorrow
January 31" first this brought a very big smile to our Mom and he said "we need to get mom a present". Mark also was ask to wright a check for
Rebeca Marks
speech therapist. Mark was given a
blank check and a piece of paper that asked Mark to write a check out to Idaho Power for the sum of $149.47. Mark had to fill in the check as his therapy. Mark said aloud Idaho Power as he was writhing the check he said several times ( Idaho Power Idaho Power very slowly) Then Mark looked at the check and said 149.47 and he started to write the amount on the check. Mark got stumped when writing the change part of the check he forgot how to draw the line at the end of the check and finish the cents.
Rebeca reminded him by telling him to draw a line and Mark
remembered how to
finished it. Mark had forgotten his
signature at the bottom
Rebeca ask him if
their was anything eles that he had forgot, Mark look at his check and he said "yes my
signature" Mark then singed the check all this took a long time for Mark to do but his
memory is
coming back.
My brother went on to his physical therapy witch would have to do with walking with Ryan. the first thing Mark would have to do is walk around the room were he does his therapy Ronnie, Mom and I followed Mark and Ryan as Mark walked from one end of the room to the other. Mark had to walk around a table and this was hard for him to do because moving around things is harder for him to do than a straight line Mark has been showing in provement and it is nice to see!
Thank you lord for Mark
