RIOSA²

Just a quick update:  my dad is still at RIOSA, different hallway from Chris.  He’s making slow but steady progress.  His hands still curl a bit when relaxed, but he can get them completely flat with a little effort now.  The foot-drop seems to have disappeared, and he’s picking up speed in the walker!

There’s still a ways to go before my dad will be back on the “team”, but I’m liking his progress so far.

I found Camera Mouse, a neat program from Boston College and Boston University to control a Windows Vista/7 mouse cursor by moving your head (DirectShow video stream from a webcam).  If I can get Chris to make the connection between head movement and cursor movement, that’d be pretty cool.
