skills eroding now
Just the past few weeks i have noticed more changes in Ray. he has trouble deciding how to hold his spoon. he tries to put his foot down while I am wheeling him in the wheelchair. he wipes his nose on the clothes protector when he has a handkerchief in his pocket or tucked down the side of the chair. All little things he would not have done before.
It is like losing someone inch by inch. I try not to be judgemental or even remark on what is happening. I try not to think about it in terms of what he could do before versus what he can do now. But I so want the decline to stop, to plateau and yes, to get better!
I know, it ain't going to happen.
