We had a big group visit Pop yesterday: Daniel, Mom, Dick, Nan, Hilary and Ben! They didn't allow Ben in the room (too many germs to exchange between the two), but we got a good visit in. He likes when you talk to him and Dick was reading a very exciting account of the first explorer's accounts of the Grand Canyon.
He opened his eyes more than last week, which was nice. He's also still got a firm grip. He likes when you hold his hands and if you let go, he shakes them and makes noise, gesturing for you to hold them. :) He was also trying to say something, but I couldn't make it out.
Medically, he still has congestion in his chest. I didn't speak to the respiratory therapist (See earlier picture of "Moe"), but it seemed to me like there was less gurgling going on. I don't know what that means, but we'll have to wait and see. Mom also makes sure that when she goes to visit that he gets suctioned both at the beginning and at the end of the visit; this helps rid him of the extra phlegm. (I hope you aren't reading this while you are eating).
We had a good visit with the family, as well, and we all went out to The Olive Garden and then back to Nan's house to watch Ben play with his toy truck. We think he said "I did it!" when he walked across the floor behind his toy truck. I have the video, but need to review the tape to see if that's really what he said.
I'll keep you all posted!
