sunday breakfast at the baron's family's home in castle germany it's a given that joshua sits at the table to he's almost completely paralyzed and needs artificial respiration but he still aware of everything happening around him. do you feel like having a bread roll. ok in that case i'll put one aside for you before they're all gone. when he blinked his eyes it means yes raced eyebrows mean no. that's how you joins our conversations you like to participate and so we all communicate with you while doing things we always need to ask you things like now yes you're doing a great job you give very exact answers as to what you like and what you don't like that would of course sometimes i can get it wrong and you think oh no i really don't want this at all but then you're always very clear and moving your face or

narrowing your eyes. as like that. and those are the nuances that we as a family are familiar with. and that signify something's not right and we need to ask you again. and. he will be elf do we usually get it right when we ask you something or. he said yes that was the ashes opinion on this. yes has cognitive skills have not been impacted but he can't breathe also while on his own and can only see well close. the tasks concerning yes just care are divided amongst the family members his father marcos is responsible for us food for instance today yes what like right bread and cold cuts. i just like your sheets pretty much the
