getting settled into routine

Friday afternoon we found Mikey in the middle of his therapy, but visited in between. The therapists say he is doing well and getting worn out from all the activity. When asked if he recognizes Morgan, he says "yeah, that's my *#"*^!# sister". Saturday he had several visitors at the same time (grandma Jackie, Tommy, Lynne, Morgan and me and later Sabrina), so we took turns. He likes the chocolate :). Tommy looked at a motorcycle magazine with Mikey (thanks Rick J.!!) and he also has a Surf magazine to check out thanks to Aunt Linda. Mikey continues to use very colorful language, which is just fine with all of us (well maybe the aides object some but they all understand that this is normal for TBI{traumatic brain injury} patients--and they say other patients are much much worse). The food is great, and they say that Mikey devours everything they give him. Yesterday I selected his Sunday meal choices. The aide said that Mikey kept on saying "Sabrina", and Sabrina tells me that she offered Mikey a bribe to say her name while he was in Lakeland's hospital, so I guess Sabrina needs to pay up!!!! LOL.
