Week 4 (extended)

A little more info,

He has developed quite the cough in the mornings mostly....but it seems to have progressively gotten worse. We can't quite figure it out, since his temps are good, and there is nothing that shouldn't be in his lungs.

I think it might be a cold cough, but he doesn't agree.

He has gone from a patient that would love for anything to be in his mouth, to one that is getting a little picky of WHAT we put in there. Comical. Last night he asked me for clam chowder WITH pasta. hahaha.

He has been taking little baby steps when he has the support of one of his boys, is pivoting his feet when we need him to, in general...we are seeing much improvement in the legs...which is very exciting. I may have to build him some parallel bars to play on.

Last night he laughed soooo hard about something, that on more than one occasion, I heard his old laugh. His laugh since the surgery has been hard to distinct between his cries and his laughs...so it was nice to hear a familiar sound. We never did get what was so damn funny, but if it makes him laugh, who really cares. Him laughing histerically is enough to make us all laugh.

Laughs are a good switch.
