Evaluation Day

I didn't know this, but several doctors and other medical types evaluate Steve on a weekly basis. Mom said that so far today everyone has said he's improving and making progress. That's great.

They said his eyesight IS getting better. I'm so excited about this. This will open up more options for communication if he can read better.

Mom also said that they are going to get him into the gym today. Not sure what they will do there, but this will get him out of the bed more. Having been in the hospital not too long ago with pre-term labor, I was so sick of the bed and I was only there about 3.5 days. I can imagine he's miserable, so this will be a great break.

I think mom also said that his therapists are really pushing him a little more. telling him they know he can do these things and "making" him do it.

So, this is all great news. Sometimes it's hard for mom and others that see him regularly to notice these subtle improvements. But any improvement, no matter how small is a step in the right direction!!

Thanks everyone! Keep praying. Prayer is powerful and really is working in Steve. :)

Steve,
Just wanted you to know my thoughts and prayers are with you every day. Do what they want so Danny and I don't have to carry your big ass up the stadium steps at the first UT game. I cannot imagine what must be going through your mind every day but you now have to trust those taking care of you and do everything necessary to get your strength back. Have trust and be strong.
