I can't believe how much progress Jordon made in an hour. After Physical Therapy this morning he slept and DID NOT want to wake up, or to have anyone wake him up. But with our persistance and the nurse's help, we got a sleepy Jordon out of bed and into the wheelchair again. Just in time for Speech Therapy (she had to reschedule from this morning because Jordon just would not wake up). The therapy session today was just an assessment and Jordon did amazing. He was able to follow some of the commands, answered many of the questions right, was able to point out the correct letters, numbers, and shapes. He got EVERY SINGLE color right!!!! Snaps for Jordon. The therapist also had him talking. He was able to repeat most of the words, and stumbled a bit when he was supposed to answer a question on his own, but overall he did great. I was impressed and the therapist was impressed.
Therapy really wore Jordon out, but when he got back, he said his mom's name and Stephanie and Chelsea's name. It took a little work getting Chelsea's name out. Sometimes Jordon gets stuck on a word and keeps giving as the answer to all questions (in therapy it was the word pencil, with name's it was Stephanies). He loved having his visitors though.
My most favorite things of the day: Jordon got a shower (He hasn't had a real shower since Christmas Day) and he is finally sleeping soundly. He was in a LOT of pain yesterday and didn't sleep well, but tonight he is finally sleeping peacefully. It is such a relief to see him sleeping like a baby.
