Waking Georgi

That's my prediction. A couple of times in the last two days I've seen Giorgi standing... and laughing his head off. The day before yesterday he was trying to lift his left leg, so he was taking most of his weight on his stronger right peg. Yesterday, when Lana told him they were going to stand him up, he started laughing and, as he was being lifted off the chair with his feet off the ground, he started bringing his knees up - in a cycling fashion. Great to watch. Lana says she does bicycling with him on the bed, i.e. they both lay on their backs and put the soles of their feet against the other's then push backwards and forwards like you would riding a bicycle.

I'm going to get him a giant rubber ball today, to support his body and encourage him to start walking the ball around the room.

On a sidenote I'm looking at moving to a new apartment which is near to Lana's parents' house. They're due to move back to my flat soon, but we've really got to find somewhere closer to where her "support team" live, otherwise it'll make it very difficult to manage.

I'm also quietly pleased that Giorgi doesn't appear to be having any serious problems with seizures. He still does furrow his brow and suddenly start crying for a few minutes. I don't know what is causing this (we can't wait for him to start talking, so he can tell us) but I suspect his brain is throbbing somewhat - that's the only thing I can imagine it to be. I think it's less likely to be "demons attacking him", because of the look on his face. He does look a bit distressed but it really looks more like he's getting some occasional pain passing through his head.
