Thursday Lisa and Kiera, the speech therapists, came with Betty Boughter and her bitter butter, and the Tutor who tooted the flute and tried to tutor two tooters to toot. Will was having a great time tying his tongue around those tongue twisters, but he had to tell the ladies to leave because he had to get to his appointment with Dr. Edgely.
The doctor was very interested in advancing Will’s memory and cognitive skills and stream-lining the therapy sessions to focus on the key areas that need retooling the most. Dr. Edgely also had rave reviews for Will’s uncle, who had e-mailed him with some suggestions for certain dietary nutrients which might speed up Will’s recovery. He said Jim Little had trained some of the doctors there at the University of Utah and was highly respected for his research in the area of spinal cord injuries and recovery patterns. He ordered some labs for Will to follow through on some of Jim’s suggestions, recommended some dietary supplements for Will to take and took him off one medication and gave him two others. He also arranged from him to have his peg tube taken out so that he could proceed with the closing of the PFO.
