Logan has had many visitors over the past several days; Anita, Matt and Grant came over on Saturday, Laken Josh and their boys stop by on Sunday, and Jared and Reggie drove over on Monday night. Thanks to all. As far as we know, the surgery is still set for Tuesday, March 2nd. In the meantime, Logan continues with all of his therapies as usual. He is still trying to speak, with a word or two coming out here and there. We aren't having as much success with the feeding as we would like, not because he can't swallow, but due to the fact that nothing tastes good to him. He is simply refusing to eat very much of anything. He will be given something to rinse his mouth with that will help clean his tongue and possibly help get his taste buds going again. Physically, he handling himself better and is able to help with his care more as time goes by. He seems to understand most of what he is told and will usually do whatever is asked of him (he has some moments of being less cooperative than others, but I think that's just Logan being Logan, not a communication problem). He does get frustrated from time to time when he can't make himself understood, but that's to be expected. The most recent thing that he said to me was , "Yea right", when I was lecturing him about something. I've heard those two words a million times in the past. The speech guy still resorts to holding Logan's nose in order to get him to speak; he tells Logan that he is going to count to ten and for him to count along. Logan is able to say the correct number in the sequence, even if it takes going all the way to the number ten before he says it out loud. We're hoping that he will begin to get his voice going without making him uncomfortable to do so; holding his nose ticks him off pretty good, but it helps him figure out how to move his vocal cords. Logan keeps throwing his right leg out of the bed and is strong enough to pull himself up a little,  so today he will get a different bed which is lower to the ground, just in case he manages to maneuver himself out of the bed. I don't think he can do that yet, although he has been giving me a "let's go" signal (holding his arm up and pointing vigorously) like he's ready to break out of this place. I don't blame him, but there's still a lot of work to do.
