Logan had a lot of good company over the weekend. Megan, Chris, Lauren and Dustin and Brent all came by for a visit on Saturday. They all got smiles out of him when talking to him about various things (I will not go into detail about some souvenir statue that he gave to Megan some time back, but when she mentioned it , he cracked up). He continues to do something or respond to something new everyday. He has begun to nod his head for yes and no and continues to use the thumbs up and down as well. Following commands is increasing in consistency, and he has begun to follow two step commands like "Touch your ear, then shut your eyes." Following simple commands is helpful in so many ways; it will enable him to assist with his care and eventually with transfers from the bed to the chair, etc. He is able to move his tongue more and open his mouth better which will help with voicing (no words yet, just sounds, but that's the next big thing everyone is waiting for). The medication trial today was successful and Logan will very likely be getting a pump which must be put in his abdomen surgically. We don't have a date on that yet, then the tendon lengthening will be done, and finally, the trach removal (woo hoo!). After the medication was administered today, Logan had a significant amount of improvement in his range of motion on the left side and also some improvement on the right side; he was able to sit up with his back straighter and with less assistance than before. It will be interesting to see what he does in therapy tommorrow since receiving the injection. Logan got a visit from Pam of the Calcasieu Parish Sherriff's Office today; thanks to Pam and all of the employees of the CPSO for all that you've done and continue to do for Logan. We will always be grateful. At the moment, things are moving along quickly with measurable improvements happening every day. That felt really good to say. More later.
