When Lilashakti arrived he was just returning from physical therapy. They had him help himself move in the wheelchair. He was able to move the wheels himself, the left arm was stronger than the right. At the entrance to his room the Physical Therapist helped him walk to his bed by guiding him walking backwards like a dance. He was able to get to his bed this way.
Lilashakti told him Parvat Maharaj was coming soon to visit and he said "Parvat?"
Then he looked at her and said that he had to pee. Surprised, she told the nurses and they came and helped him. This was a major milestone recognizing the sensation, articulating it, getting help and then executing the task.
He is not ready for rehab yet and has a way to go before that but there is concern about him. The staff is encouraging visitors. Stimulation is good for him, the more the better. So everyone is encouraged to visit as you are able. Even if it is once a month it will be of great benefit to him
