Esa's CP Blog

15th December 2009 (4 days after 1st spinal injection)

December 15th, 2009

ESA got up early this morning and is happy and cheerful. The Doctors on routine daily check noted ESA using his left hand more than he used to, is more responsive when talked to and his limbs are more relaxed than before.

After his routine exercise, we brought him for his 7th acupuncture, but the Doctor was not available. He did not receive his acupuncture.

In the later part of the afternoon, we tried to let ESA hold an empty Gano bottle. We noticed that he can grip the bottle and to our surprise he tried to move his hand towards his mouth trying to bite the bottle. Then we let him hold a biscuit in his right hand and then he began to move the biscuit with his right hand to his mouth and ate the biscuit.

We will improvise this action and train him to hold the food which he will eat on his own instead of feeding him. This is a subtle but tremendous improvement.

ESA will be going for his 2nd spinal injection by 10.00 am.
