Today started with a clear longing for home. Ethan was a little sad that he was not able to go home. He's a trooper and continues to show small improvements. Ethan has shown a large attachment to mom and will not let her go. If that how he is coping we'll gladly indulge him. Seth and Ellie are also missing him.
He did continue to move forward. His second day with the speech pathologist went well. She upgraded his menu plan and worked through some memory exercises. He received a couple special K9 visitors which really brightened his day not to mention he keeps receiving gifts like it his birthday. Yesterday it was a book of "outrageous verse", a puzzle, balloons, a stuffed bear, a couple of coloring books with crayons. Today he got a couple more hot wheels.
He also visited the Young Foundation Playroom walking all the way. He is enjoying being out of his bed with appropriate naps.
Still looks like we need a few more days before the medical professionals release him, and we'll have to be sensitive to his need to stay safe. If anyone knows where we can pick up pillow sumo suit with helmet let us know.
Again thanks for your concern. We too have had many come to our aid. We're grateful to neighbors who have come to help with a frozen pipe, one who noticed our van dome light was left on which could have likely killed the battery. Teachers and office staff at Whitesides Elementary who have shown love and concern, sent those special furry visitors and gits, and offered many payers in our behalf. In fact we have felt the love and support and healing affects of countless prayers from all of you. We are well.
Steve
