I apologize for those of you keeping tabs in here, that I am unable to update as often. I have been so busy at work, that it's hard to pull away even for ten minutes to write in here. I will do my best to be more frequent with posts.
Ok, so...let's see...updates.
His speech is coming...just slowly. There are times when he is as clear as a bell, and then there are times that just boggle you as to what he is saying. So, I have been focusing on asking him odd questions to expand his vocab. Instead of "How are you feeling", I'll ask him what he watched on TV today for instance.
His swallowing is improving, and we hope to give him "treats" soon. ALL the nurses adore him. He learned how to "Blow kisses", and now everyone wants one when they see him. It's pretty damn funny.
If the insurance situation doesn't improve we may be caring for him ourselves at home, rather than pay the $7k + to keep him there. Speaking of home, my Mom has asked me to use this medium to see if anyone out there in our "fan base" is possibly home shopping. She is looking to sell their place and find something that is a little more handicap friendly, in the event we would take him home. If you would like to know more, please contact me @ petrofied@gmail.com.
**PLEASE do not solicit this email. Let's all give a big thank you to the gem of a man that solicited my gmail through this blog, as a representative of a donation agency. How do these people sleep?? Sigh...**
My Dad is getting more and more curious about what is going on, and being said in this blog. He wants to write in here, and just as soon as his speech is a little more legible, I will relay his messages to all of you.
All his trainers are pleased with his improvements of late...though slow, he continues to strive to improve and impress. More to come....on my way to go see him!

It wouldn't hurt to turn you email address into words so the soliciting robots (computer programs) don't pick it up, seems weird but really works. "petrofied at gee mail dot com" is what I would use if you want to stay under the radar!
