New Friend Joins TEAM CHRIS P

Due to power outage I was unable to post last night about Christopher's day on Monday.

He had his visit with Martha hear at home in the morning. She brought with her a new friend to join the team. Renee will begin to come and regularly work with Christopher specifically on speech. Christopher was happily occupied when they arrived else where in the house so it was nice that we three ladies had a chance to meet, talk and catch up for a bit before he discovered that they were here. We talked a lot about schedule and options that I need to work out in order to manage both Christopher's schedule and maintain a consistent work schedule. More on that as it becomes more clear. We also talked about his eating and our relaxed routine for table time. Martha always insightful offered some great suggestions for more structure in the eating department, we'll keep working on the food part as we go.
I met with Kathy last week and was excited to here her say that he had played with his food one day. He touched a food that was not part of his regular boring food list! This is good.

Anyway back to our morning visit. When Christopher heard Martha he came running out and I am sure he had the intention to run and hug her but detoured into a body flop on the mattress when he saw the strange face. He was a little shy about her presence but still his normal happy self. It did seem like he was more attached to me during their visit and less sure even of Martha. I think because of our new friend.

Welcome to Team Chris P Renee.
