Great news to report . . . just now, Simon spontaneously opened his right eye, started looking all around, as though he's really noticing his surroundings for the first time. He seemed to be checking out his legs and other appendages - I kept reassuring him that everything is still intact and will be okay. He nodded or shook his head in response to a bunch of questions, and tried to mouth some words, which unfortunately I could not decipher. When I told him I loved him, he made a funny face like he always does when I say that!!!
I think he's on his way back - not that he won't have problems and obstacles - but this was the first time I think he really recognized me, and his surroundings.
This was too good to save until tomorrow!

ReplyDeleteYay Dr. T!!!
ReplyDeleteYES!!! Great to hear :-) We've been in Steamboat for the weekend and didn't have e-mail access until Dave's blackberry got into cell range this am....so your message was a wonderful beginning to our crazy closing day on the mountain. Pedro and Katherine, Howie III and IV and Bronwen were with us and we were all thinking about you both and feeling jazzed for Simon as we rode on the Gondola. We'll look forward to more positive updates once you settle in at Craig. From what I've heard, the family support and training there is outstanding. Save journey to Denver tomorrow. Liz
