What We Take For Granted!

Everyday we wake up and get out of bed, get dressed, eat breakfast and start our day. What we don't think about when we wake up and get dressed and eat are how we do this. We just do it. Every morning when Joey wakes up and stretches, he has to think very hard which muscles and tendons and ligaments and nerves to activate to stretch. He also has to fight past the natural reflexes the brain wants to do to be able to stretch. Then to talk and eat and move around he has to think hard and fight against his body to do these things. Eventually just like the typical us, he is able to do some of these things without thinking. He has learned to stretch without thinking to hard and has learned to laugh without thinking at all. But he still has to concentrate hard when talking and seeing and eating. However, since the stem cells, things are coming easier. One of these things is eating. When we eat, we move our tongue side to side and front to back and up to the roof of our mouths. As babies we only moved our tongues forward, called thrusting. This is what Joey has been doing for a long time. He does move his tongue side to side, but still thrusts it forward. I have noticed over the last several weeks that he is not trusting his tongue anymore. He has concurred this reflex. This is HUGE! Because of this he eats more, eats faster and eats more effectively.

He is learning new things everyday. A lot of his baby reflexes are starting to diminish. This is the beginning to an incredible recovery.

Way to go Stem Cells! Whoo Hoo!
