BRAIN AGE & POOL

June 30, 2006 Ben has graduated out of Physical Therapy and we are on to Cardiac Rehab where he’ll get to work out on a treadmill and weight machines so that’s good news. His speech therapist just turned him on to this new Nintendo game called Brain Age- it’s amazing- lots of math questions and interactive writing and talking into the machine- he actually spent 5 hours last night in intense concentration doing math problems and I swear I can actually watch his brain improving as he does the exercises. An MD developed the game and it’s supposed to help ANYONE get sharper and more articulate etc. His speech therapist learned about it from one of her patients who had a head injury. My brain could use a little exercise right now, but the trick will be getting the Nintendo away from Ben and he’s not willing to give it up!
Yesterday George took Ben to play POOL! Ben was elated- so was I! It's the first time I've been all alone at the house in a couple of months- what a treat! Thanks George!
