My mom posted this in the new members thread but I thought it would be more appropriate to start a new one.

P.S. I have seen my mom use the Scalamobil and it is really cool! It's amazing technology and makes it relatively easy for PALS to have access to places that you might not think are even possible.

Hi everyone,
What a day! Angelo had an appointment with the speech therapist and neurologist today.
Basically no drastic changes were found: the speech therapist checked his swallowing, and since May, it’s pretty much the same; which is good news. She recommended he continues to eat pureed food, drink honey consistency juice. The neurologist found that he looked healthy and was happy that he gained some weight. His upper body is still pretty strong, however his right leg has weakened somewhat. In May he was still going up the stairs. Now I use the “Scalamobil” an electric wheel chair which I operate. It requires one to be strong and fit to use it, but so far so good. While we were at our appointment, workers came in and laid the new bamboo flooring in the family room and bedroom, by the time we got home, it was all done. We are really happy that the carpet is gone as it will be much easier for Angelo to get around.
Can’t wait until the roll-in shower will be done – it seems it won’t happen before mid October (at worse) sooner at best!
The neurologist prescribed orthotics for his hands (he will be wearing them at night).. He often gets cramps and hopefully these will give him some relief.
All in all, I am grateful for this day, even though it was tiring it was a GOOD day.
All the best to all of you.
Alida
