Chloe is making recovery work with this medication that treats epilepsy and neuropathic pain. She still has headaches but less frequent and less intense. She is giving us more information as to issues we need to work on. We go and do community errands every day. Chloe works on finding the items we need paying for them and getting a receipt. This works on her language skills and knowing what is needed to purchase items. We may park at a short distance from where we are going and practice how to cross the street with street lights and without lights. She is a concrete person that had to be convinced she did not have to listen to Christmas music all the time but could take breaks and listen to regular music too.
She sees her fitness instructor for her adaptive fitness sessions. They work on exercise that Chloe has to follow directions, like touch the wall with your right hand or reach to the ceiling with your left. She is improving in following directions and improve her body awareness. We are also working on getting her to understand to ask questions and first demonstrating what kind of questions she may want to ask.
Chloe has headaches but much less intense . Her eye site is acute what I see as a line on the eye chart she sees letters and can tell the eye doctor what the letters are. I have to ask if she got them right and the eye doctor says "Yes"! Her teeth seem to be the major health issue. We really do not understand why but after the removal of 4 wisdom teeth and 2 molars it still is an issue. Dentist suggests to stay away from baking soda or whitener that seems to be part of the problem and is helpful. Straightening her conversational speech and ability to follow directions continues
