What is This? Effort? Progress?

I know two days don’t equal a trend . . . and I probably shouldn’t say anything yet. But M seems to be making some progress when it comes to remembering what to do to put his smoothie together in the morning.

I know – not very exciting, right?

But before yesterday morning, he would go to the kitchen and sit there – waiting for me to come down and get the smoothie process started. Every so often I would tell him that he could do something before I got there, like measure out the blueberries or gather the ingredients together, and he always told me that he couldn’t remember.

And it’s true. Every morning, I had to tell him “Six ounces of blueberries.” “45 seconds in the microwave.” “Now, get the coconut milk out of the fridge.” Every. Single. Morning.

He just couldn’t remember.

But yesterday, he had the blueberries measured out and microwaved before I came down to the kitchen. And this morning, he had done all that and even had the coconut milk sitting on the counter, beside the blender. I was stunned!

And he was so pleased with himself!! I praised him to the skies – which started off the day on a nice note, for a change.

I don’t want to get my hopes up. I really don’t. But . . . do you think some of the supplement/diet/exercise things we’re doing might be helping? I know they’re not going to be a cure – that he’s not going to wake up next week and be ready to go back to work. But just to have a little bit of my sweetie back . . . wouldn’t that be something!

Fingers crossed!
