Tim and I did come home. Tim has been coughing a lot and needs to see a doctor. I am going back without him this time. We left Aunt Susie in charge. I talked to her just a bit ago. Timothy was moved to a regular room, and he remained active most of the day. We have both noticed that he really seems to enjoy the time spent with the physical therapists. That just began. We are glad this will be increased. Susie feels he is following her more with his eyes,and he is trying to lift his right leg off the bed a little. That's the leg that has broken bones and is in a metal brace. I had not seen him ever try to do that. I think the therapist's work has influenced this movement. Aunt Susie was very impressed with his progress from last week. It has been a very good day.
Tim's address: Mercy Hospital, Room 658, 1111 6th Ave., Des Moines, IA 50314-2611
Stacie, I did not mean Timothy changed the rules. I meant the doctors changed the rules.

I was in to see Tim today. We first went to ICU and were told he had been moved to another room. I knew that was good news already. Chris and I went up and met Aunt Susie and saw a big change in Tim. He was moving both legs and lifting his arm. He followed me with his eyes and when I told him we were leaving I took hold of his hand and he lifted it and gave me a good squeeze.
