Sincere thanks to all those of you who have been praying. A better day today. The meds seem to be holding and we finally got to the speech therapist in Surrey hospital today. She did an assessment and John will be going over weekly (health permitting) for about 10 weeks for therapy. She felt there was still good muscle tone in his mouth but that he is going to have to work on strengthening and using the voice muscles. His homework for this week is to sing - because he can make more sound singing than just trying to speak. And he is to have two jokes ready to tell her - in a loud voice. He is going to like this therapist!
We will give it a one thumbs up today!
Prayer requests
1. That the meds will continue to kick in when they should
2. That the voice therapy will help with his voice and clarity of speech and that he will feel well enough to go each week. We don't go next week because our therapist is away that day.
