She said he seems to respond better to myself and my daughter and she thought it might help him a lot to be home. I am thrilled to say I am sure I am seeing an improvment, maybe my imagination but I swear he seems to be happier. He is eating for me really well...I have to squirt liquid food into his mouth with a syringe but he is swallowing really well and he has been more active...once he actually got himself to his feet alone and took a step and sort of crawled (as best he could) into my daughters lap...it wasn't pretty or graceful but he knew she was there and he wanted closer. I've let the girls in to visit him several times and they are so good around him and he really appears to try to perk up when they are sniffing around him. Hes peeing and pooping and I have never been so glad to clean up pee and poop in my life! Wish us luck... we WILL get through this!!! God bless each and every one of you who reached out to help a stranger, you are wonderful people! |
These are SERIOUSLY GREAT SIGNS!!!!!!!!! The brain is a truly miraculous thing!! As a nurse, I've been around head injuries - and I can tell you these are just excellent signs to be seeing already. I am really hopeful for your little Toby and am so happy he is with you. This is really encouraging!
Thank you for the update, I've been thinking about this little fella!
