Thanks, >Jerry > What I have found from Fuad's therapy is that the small motor skills in the hands and wrists are affected. Fuad has trouble managing a fork and spoon. We are trying as therapy a bowl of marbles that he has to pick up with a spoon and place in another bowl. Also some flexing type exercises for the wrists might help. I know it is frustrating, but like the doctor told Fuad last week. He should not worry we all know he is doing his very best and that is all we can ask. I am trying to relieve some of his frustrations and yet keep him as independent as possible. Barbara CG Fuad 60/3+ [log in to unmask]
