Update #70, August 12th, 2010

Sean is still progressing with some really new things of late. He has been taken off several medications and is responding more and more. He is expressing himself more which is refreshing. The other night CSI Miami started, even though it is a rerun Sean enjoys it, Paulette changed the channel. Sean got up said "well I might as well go to bed". Needless to say I set up the TV so he could watch CSI in his bedroom. We went looking at cars and he really enjoyed that on Tuesday. Again fitting into a car that fits 7' and a 42" inseam is fun on the passenger side. He wants to look at a Hummer so that will be another day. He has several appointments set up with the VA doctors and we look forward to making more progress. Until next time God Bless and thank you for continuing to pray and thinking of him.

Update #69 July 6, 2010

We had a quiet 4th of July, Paulette was working and I mentioned to Sean we should tape the beautiful fireworks we were watching on television with the Boston Pops so she could see it later. He replied "Paulette can walk outside and see it for herself right now." I almost fell off the couch. He is talking much clearer and I ask him questions that require an answer other than just "yes or no". He is using his hands more and is not quite as frustrated. We went up to Denver and took Editable Bouquets of fruit as thank you gifts to various people and units at one of the 3 hospitals. Sean didn't remember the people but they remembered him. I wanted him to give them the thank yous so they could see him and how much he had progressed in the last 18 months. They were impressed as almost all of them had only seen him prone and pretty out of it.
We will deliver more next week when some vacations are done. Still hanging in there and glad for each and every day. Thank you for your continued thoughts and prayers.
