We have recently returned from our ABR review in western Sydney. The trip and stay was a lot more comfortable than previous trips, as Kim joined us on our trip to Sydney for the first time. A new location for the clinic again. But we had more space for the clinic than any of the previous clinics I have been to in the past. The accommodation was very reasonably priced. We were given a sizable discount because of the ABR clinic being there. It was a bit further to commute for us from the airport. The staff were great at the Chifley at Eastern Creek, they really looked after us.
We were pleased with the outcome of the review, and are setting about our plans to accomplish as much ABR prescription exercises in the next 4 months. Harri showed that he had good gains of strength in his abdominal and upper back. This could have resulted in a good review in the weight bearing tests, but alas the cast and broken arm prevented us from doing any of these tests.

The line across his abdomen was more of a straight line in Nov 09, and now tends to follow the rib line up in the middle, this displays improved underlining strength in the core muscles.
There was not much spare time for anything else while in Sydney. But we did take time to track down the offices of Emotiv, and now have a clear contact name and number for their Sydney operations. I hope to establish discussions with their researchers to track down developers using the headset to work with communications for people without a voice or other form of communication.
On return from Sydney, Harri started coming down with a bad cough. This rapidly developed into a productive cough with high 38 temps. We are working hard to avoid a chest infection.
On this coming Tuesday Harri should be finally rid of his cast, x-ray going well.
We will keep you posted.
Regards Matt
