Update on Chris 1-28-07
I got to spend a lot of time alone with Chris today. We had some real good talks and even had a pizza date for dinner. He ate a whole pepperoni pizza! He was even able to hold the pizza by himself and he held his drink too! Every day, he improves a little more. It may not be fast enough for him or for us, but it is amazing to see him do things that he wasn’t able to do the day before. One of the neatest things that has happened in the last few days… I didn’t see him all day Saturday, so you can imagine how much I missed him and struggled with not being there with him. At the end of the day, I was putting the kids to bed, and my phone rang with the special ring tone I have for when Chris calls me. This was a very special moment for me, cause my phone hasn’t rang with his ring tone for a month. He called just to talk before he went to sleep and told me he missed me. This was one of those milestone moments I had been waiting for. J He has been very awake and alert and has a lot less confusion, although it still comes through a little here and there, but this will just take time. He is still feeling some sadness, but seems to have a pretty good grip on the frustrations. It comes and goes. The biggest thing to pray for now is that he gets peaceful sleep at night and that God would protect his thoughts and dreams. I am excited to see what will happen in the week ahead. We love you all.
