As donna mentioned in the last post "those little things add up". Sometimes when you are there every day you don't notice as much. A couple of comments from his friends that last couple of days have been "wow,now that i see you sitting up you look like spence" and "you sound like spence now". this to us is awesome.
Tonight at dinner (and by the way he had his mom's cooking which are i am sure is the reason why), i saw some of that improvement. even though he was exhausted from PT,OT,ST,the best ST, he laughed and joked with us more than since he has been in the hospital. Or maybe it was getting off the floor today, to those who have been there you now what i mean, but i took him to the Stars Wars tube today. (It is a hall connecting MGH to Spaulding). Or maybe it was spence having his video camera, he taped the orthopedist who took a mold of his left leg so he could make a brace (and also asked him 201 questions),his nurse dacia,his roommate greg, and then he found out his speech therapist just bought a mac so she could do movies. what the heck they were talking about went over my head, adobe this, final cut this etc,etc,.
Anyway as I started its the little things adding up.:blog posts,cards,visits,prayers,messages thru friends,e-mails, keep'em um coming because i know this keeps spencer strong.
