He is Talking!!!

It has been an amazing day...he recognizes all of us, even his uncle from Vancouver. He knows where he is, he remembers that he was playing catch. He is following commands, he smiles, he says he is not scared! They took out his feeding tube, he drank some pedialyte from a straw. He actually said "get this stuff off me"!

God is GREAT!

  20. By all means, get that stuff off of him. After all he's been through. It's a small thing to ask. :)
