Day 4
Therapy in Santiago

Well from Wednesday night to Thursday morning, there were 4 earthquakes here in Santiago. We actually only felt one of them at about 8 am in the morning. We were sitting on the couch and we turned to the door of the apartment because it sounded as if someone was trying to get in, then the building shook a little and then he felt like we were swaying back and forth, kinda like in a boat. Probably only lasted about 1 1/2 minutes, if that long. It is really hard to keep time when something like that happens, especially being our first real experience with one. So, off we went to therapy then. It was a normal day like usual. Guess around here that is part of everyday life. Thursday was Austin's first full day of therapy that he was feeling secure, trusting in Ramon and allowing him to pass the message of the exercise. Ramon made a discovery today. To give Austin's body a better sense of security, Ramon would put his forehead pressed up against Austin's back when Austin had the desire to sit, by doing so, Ramon said that this "recharges the energy between him and Austin". It worked, Austin would then go from a half sitting position to standing nice and tall. Ramon never gives up, and 9 out 10 times gets Austin to respond in a positive way to his exercises. Ramon's brain is in constant creative mode, and that is what makes him a one of a kind therapist.
