Timothy had a great day. When I arrived Butch and Jennifer Prussman were visiting with him, and before they arrived, the doctor had taken his trach out. His voice is a little breathy again, but that should end in a day or two. Therapies went well, and the psychologist visited with him a little. He had answers for all her questions. He is telling everyone who visits to be sure and wear their seatbelts. So he did learn something from this experience. He is really enjoying visits from friends.
So now Timothy just has the Halo, the pick line for the IV antibiotic, and a brace on the left leg. Yeah! Yeah!
He and I went to visit with Carl today. He was able to wave and make eye contact. He is starting to come around. Hurrah! Hurrah! Good news all around.
If anyone from home is coming this way by Thursday, we need a favor. Timothy has the UP laptop at his house, and UP has his. Mike can make the exchange Thursday if I have it by then. So if you're coming this way, just call father Tim at home. If this doesn't work no worry, we'll take care of it the next half. If I had known just a little sooner, I would have brought it up with me.
We will learn the new exit date tomorrow!

A very dear friend of mine who is 71 years old has NEVER worn his seat belt. After seeing how deeply Timmy's accident affected me & our family and after begging for him to start wearing his seat belt, he is now getting into the habit of buckling up. He still forgets occassionally, but he is making an effort. In exchange I had to agree to stay off motorcycles this summer. :( but, I am willing to do that if one life is saved. I am a huge advocate of seat belt use & unfortunately have Timothy's story to re-enforce the point. Please, I'm with you Timmy, Everyone wear your seat belts!
