“Fuuu.. Ya, Ya, Ya”
hey all,
we are starting the 3rd day of the new meds for the second phase of the protocol and chi has been doing great. the docs said the most important thing for us to watch during the transition of meds were his vitals and he has been fine so far. the new meds could cause anxiety or episodes so we have been keeping his environment positive and loving as the docs suggested.
yesterday he had a really verbal day. in the morning steph came in and was moving his arm and he said “FUUU..!” i think we all know where that was going.. ha. after steph and i got him ready and in his chair i asked chi “are you ready to go to steph's house and go sit in the recliner?” and he said “YA!” – i was so pissed i didn't get it on video! i joked about needing a “chi cam” attached to my head!
once we were at steph's i broke out the video camera, limes, tangerines and wasabi! the docs suggested some of these things to help stimulate his mouth. once i got to giving him the wasabi is when things started happening. i asked him “was that good?” and he said “YA!” and i said “huh??” and he said “YA!” again… ON VIDEO!
since the first time i saw chi in the hospital after the accident he has kept his left arm straight due to calcification and it has always been really hard to bend that arm… i am not used to any movement happening with that arm. chi was sitting in the recliner and i was sitting beside him on the arm of the chair on his left side and i started feeling something moving and didn't know what the heck it was… he was moving that arm.. bending it up.
so ya.. things were exciting around here yesterday. after two full days on the new meds… if we are already seeing little things improving.. i can't wait to see how things are in a few months!
chi and i are going to go hang at stephanie's… hope you all have a great day!
one love for chi,
gina

Awesome news. Gina thank you for the regular updates and, of course , for all your dedication to Chi. I've been folowing you're posts ever since the site was up, and lately i came to realize that i wonder about how's Chi is doing almost every day, and can't wait for the next update, especially now that i'm certain that he's on the path for recovery.
