“It’s going well with Appie, said Abderrahim Nouri. He is awake, he sleeps, he eats, but he does not get out of bed. In the good times, there is a form of communication, then it moves the eyebrows. He just can’t keep it long, it seems to be top sport for him. Appie knows where he is. It is good for him that he is in an environment familiar with his family.
