Michael did sleep most of the day, but he perked up around 5:00pm when Mr. Mike arrived. He sat up in bed and downed a whole glass of tea without taking a breath. And who knew he liked chocolate pudding so much?? Mrs. Rosi fed him a few bites and he said "mmmmmm".
After he'd had enough, "That's enough Mom". (!!!!!!) Yes. He called her Mom.
(woohoo Michael is allowed to eat again, CT scan he had this morning showed no tears in his esophagus) Jordan wasn't in the room at the time and Michael noticed. Like yesterday, he was trying to say "Where's Jordan" but didn't manage to get it out. We knew what he meant. Seems like he always notices when someone is missing from the room.
Michael and Mr. Mike played with the mini-basketball for a little while today. Michael shot a few times and missed, was about to give up until the nurse insisted he try one more time. He made it. I'm pretty sure we were more excited than he was.
Around 7:00 he decided to go for a walk out in the hallway. First time he's left the room since Friday! He was looking around for his "Camry" (he drives a Camry) his keys, and wallet.
He also wanted his "nasses" for his "reyes". (which we interpreted and glasses for his eyes)
Michael is improving steadily. He still gets very frustrated when he struggles to find the words to express himself, or can't answer the doctor's questions- but this is to be expected. Although we hate seeing him so frustrated, it just means he's becoming more aware.
Today was a good day.

Let him know that Corey and Landon are bringing his nasses for his reyes tomorrow when they come! They are also bringing his slippers since it seems he'll be up and down the halls more.
ReplyDeleteLet us know if anyone needs them to bring anything else.
