I haven't checked in for a while...the forum was giving me problems but all seems good now. Chris had an appt at the VA in Tucson yesterday. He was treated so well by everybody! We met with the spinal cord injuries and disorders team and were quite impressed. Chris also met with a tobii rep who was blown away by Chris' ability to navigate the eye gaze software. They placed an order for Chris to have a tobii since he has lost so much of the use of his hands. Chris is a computer techie kind of guy. He really enjoys programming and is excited about being able to use his eyes to continue working. The team also has a social worker to help folks navigate the VA system, and a mental health specialist. We go back in a few weeks and will also meet the OT who specializes in vehicle adaptations. I am amazed and grateful that the VA is taking such good care of us! I say "us" because the team made sure to include me in all of the conversations. Kathleen
