Thursday Night Update: Today is Dillans Birthday! It was good to spend some time with him for this special day. For part of Drews therapy, he had to call Dillan this morning and sing Happy Birthday. I am so thankful that Drew can do this much! Drew stepped up his therapy today and was busy from 7:30 am and kept busy until the the middle of the afternoon. He is asleep very early tonight. The therapist put Drew in a stand up harness and had him taking some steps today. I almost forgot how tall his stands. He looked like a giant next to his therapists. It was good to see him upright. If you want to get specific, there are two things that you can pray for in the next few days: 1) Pray that Drew can get his trach out soon--it is really irritating him and causing him to cough to the point of frustration. 2) Pray that he does well for his swallowing test tomorrow--if he does, he can start eating some food. Drew still has quite a bit of confusion. We learned a new word called Confabulation. Drews mind is pulling ideas from everywhere and trying to put things together. In many ways it is humorous, but it is also very confusing to him. It is a normal stage for a brain injury, but it is a bit scary, too. He should pass through this stage soon. Thanks for your prayers! Last night, Drew said his own prayer before he went to sleep. He was also aware of the fact that you all were praying for him. Happy Birthday, Dillan! Love you so much!
