Sunday Evening

This was a pretty good day. When Tim and I came into Timothy's room this morning, we could tell a difference. Timothy seemed to be following us a little with his eyes, and the nurse said later she felt he was following her a little also. He did the hand squeezes on request several times. Once when I said I was leaving, he seemed to reach out,grasp my hand and squeeze hard. Lisa also felt that he reached for her shoulder another time. The nurse said that when she was "brushing" his teeth he opened wide when asked and spit out the cleaner on request. Spitting is good! During Timothy's wakeup times he is making a lot more face expressions not just the stone cold set look from days before.

We know we have a long road ahead. We delight in the alert times but there are a lot of still kinda asleep times. The main things is we feel today that Timothy is making important progress.

We appreciate Calvin and Debbie spending much of the day with us.

Jeremy and Lisa, our support for the weekend, also just left. Tim and I so depend on Jeremy and Zach and their girls to help us through this difficult time.

Everyone is being so supportive and helpful. It is unbelieveable. Thanks!

  2. I am so glad to hear that he is doing so well today! Maybe he listened to my threat. lol Anyway, I am sending up some food with Brandi tomorrow. I hope you guys enjoy it. I thought you might enjoy some home cooked food. Thank God for these good days, and we are all praying for more. It's a long road ahead, but he is strong and is making amazing progress. It may not be as fast as we want it, but I know he is trying as hard as he can. We just have to be patient. Love and prayers are with you all.
