Tremors in His Right Hand

Lately, the tremors in his right hand are starting to become very worry some.

We went to his counseling session at Kaiser on Sunset today. We took his Tobii but it stopped working mid- session, so they had a change of plan and used a pen and paper instead.

They let me see that note afterwards, and I was very surprised at the letters and words that have been written. They were writings that with one look, I was able to tell that his hand had tremors.



Currently at school, other students take notes for him so I never really had the chance to see his writings recently, but today by seeing his writing, I was able to tell how much his disease had progressed.

I took a video of his hand tremors, so I’ve uploaded it.

Youth with a Voice

Youth with a Voice, generated at the high school.

 They had their first meeting today.

Even though this club had just invited students in the assembly at the start of the week, they already had many student participants. The classroom was full! Hajime was surprised too.

They were all people that knew Hajime, but regardless I am very grateful that many people that support Hajime came.

What gave me the most joy was that he spoke to me about this with a beautiful smile. It must be because of Hajime’s personal virtue that people gather for him.
