Pádraig is surprising us and his therapists almost every day.
How can someone, after two years, ‘all of a sudden’ correctly answer relatively complex questions? How can he start to move and start to control his limbs?
The other day, he pushed Pat’s hand to the side as she was giving him food that was just too hot to eat? Today, he picked up a tissue and wiped his mouth – with a bit of support and guidance, but he did it. He also pushed one of his therapists.
The thing is: you’re not supposed to start doing this such a relatively long time after your accident.
Pádraig is moving into a whole new categories, people tell us.
They don’t know and haven’t understood that Pádraig has ***always*** been in a different category. There’s nothing new here. It’s just now become visible to them:)

And how many people would have progressed that much if they had the proper help? your poyect of An Saol is absolutely necessary!! besos y abrazos
It makes me physically sick when I think about the people with all that potential who have never been given the opportunity because someone decided at some, usually very early, stage that they were ‘hopeless cases’, Ana.
Padraig is showing the potential that has always been there. Others before him were never given the opportunity to show what they could achieve. Nursing homes or community care is what they got where there is little or no therapies for them. An Saol is the way.
Martin, you hit the nail on the head. This is exactly it. So well put and all in just a couple of sentences!
Wow!
This is the Dreamboat going up the stream, Colm!
