We celebrated James's 24th birthday with family and friends at Chili's. As he usually does, he ordered "beef and chicken fajitas with no sour cream, double glockamoly". He ate a lot of chips before they came, though, and could only eat one tortilla full. He will have the rest tomorrow at his day program. He was full enough that he even turned down a cupcake. We were all surprised when he managed to blow out all 24 candles with one puff.
"Stable" continues to be the word. James has had some "nausea-plus", but not any serious episodes of seizures. "Transfers" (i.e., from car to wheelchair, from bed to chair, etc.) seem to be better; James seems to have better leg strength. Lately he has been talking more (and asking for more). He wanted 24 presents since he was 24 years old, so the presents were tiny. He got several new card games and a "Trouble" game where the die is in a popper and does not go all over the room. This idea's time came a long time ago.
Thank you for continued prayers for our angel. B
