Aya and MS Paint...

After I crushed Jenny in the Ninja drawing contest last week, Aya decided to try her hand at using MS Paint and I got this at work: ....YODA! Too funny. Not only is this a fairly good drawing of Yoda in a minute of less, but this was Aya's first time using MS Paint. I think there might be a series of challenges coming up now!

Yoko update: Things are going well right now. Aya's mom is eating more now. She is actually kind of picky about what she wants to eat and how good things do or do not taste. I suppose that is good. She is back to watching her Korean dramas on a portable DVD player thanks to yours truly (yes, I know I am great). The more surprising news is that Yoko was able to walk using a cane this week.

Okay so let me clarify "walk". It isn't that way you or I walk and the cane isn't a sporty pimp cane, but it is one of those 4 prong handicapped canes and she walked down the hallway and it took some time. The silver lining is that she was able to stand and walk. Her physical therapist was on vacation last week and when she came back she was surprised at how much progress she made in just one week!

In addition, Yoko is able to move and lift her leg. She can also lift her arm and has started trying to write. While it all seems obvious and easy most of all these actions take concentration so Yoko isn't doing of these things easily just yet. Hopefully she will continue to get stronger and these actions will become like second nature again.

She has a checkup with her neurologist next week so hopefully her brain gets a clean bill of health.
