Zoe: Chirpy Chappy

Today was a good day. The best day I've had with Sonny since being home actually. Its amazing how a new idea grabs hold of him and the new twitter thing really pulled him out of the doldrums. Thank you so much to everybody who signed up to follow him today. He was chuffed to bits and its really helped lift his spirits which were worrying me. It was a day of achievements too. I'd tentatively agreed for the teacher to visit. As well as being concerned about how much he'd be able to concentrate I was also concerned about the fatigue he'd feel by simply sitting in a chair at a table. It was a nice gentle lesson and he managed at least an hour and a half which was much, much more than I expected him to cope with. The physio also came round to help him get back on his feet. She'd been following the blog and was pleasantly surprised with the strength he had (she's seen him much worse). His physical repair has been like a never ending game of snakes and ladders. For now we are on the bottom rung but lets hope its one of the long ladders.
