Dr. Edgley

Will had an appointment with Dr. Edgley Tuesday. Dr. Edgley noted that Will's speech had improved substantially since his last visit six weeks ago in that now Will's speech is much less spastic. Dr. Edgley told Will his highest priority right now was to work on speaking.

Dr. Edgley also gave Will the same short-term memory test he gave him at his first visit March 7th. The test works like this. Dr. Edgley says "I want you to remember three things: ball, truck, dog." Then he asks questions about the date, who is the president of the United States, and so on. Then he asks what the three things were. In March, Will couldn't remember any of them. This time he could remember one. When I listened in on this test in March, I knew exactly what was going to happen and I could still only remember one of the three things. I'll let you draw your own conclusions.

Will had a driving evaluation with an occupational therapist on May 6th. Dr. Edgley scheduled another one for Will for early July.
