Medicine for recovery trial continues

Harri has moved further into the trial of the medicine that could well assist his recovery. Back in January, 1 tablet in the morning, made him sleepy for 1/2 an hour mid morning. As he started school this was reduced to 1/2 a tablet, as it was thought that it may have an effect on his education. 2 weeks ago we went back to 1 tablet in the morning, and although he gets a little drowsy, the benefits in increase facial communication have been noted by both his schools. So we will continue on this dose a little longer.

The teacher from Corinda SHS has video of Harri using blinking for communication. It is not speech yet but the Dr is confident that the trial will eventually lead to speech. As he said " all the tell tale signs are there".

The family also prepares to leave on our Easter holiday, we hope to have lots of photos, E books and video's to share on our return.

Regards Matt
