Update #52 from---Rob

Just a quick note to keep all of you informed.

A couple of nice things happened today.

While in speech, his therapist Laura asked Steve to look at a picture, (a train on a track), and then to look at two sentences and determine which one described the picture. It took Steve some time to do this and we wondered why. It seemed Steve was having a tough time reading the sentences due to the fact that they were on a table and evidently too close to him. Once held at a farther distance he easily looked at the correct sentence. We will bring his glasses to speech from now on. We feel that Steve is really "all there" intellectually and we cannot wait to hear him talk, of which he is really close.

We also are seeing him open the right eye farther. Today we saw it about 1/2 way open. It seems to track similarly with the left, but has not gone past its' mid line----until today!
It has only been a week since we started holding it open in rehab and now we see this.

Just amazing!



With Thanks,

Rob

Steve,

Many people have prayed, and believed. You are living proof of our Lord's promise to us on prayer.
