Orion is doing better in spite of the continual frustration he suffers (and his folks suffer) as he remembers doing all sorts of things well prior to June 2nd. Although he is very aware of his surroundings, and his memory is very good, he is still mute, still has trouble focusing his eyes together on any object, trouble coordinating his hands and, as of now, cannot walk more than a foot or two without help.
Now the good part. Last night, he was watching his dad play video games and had a smile on his lips with every wreck and wheeley done on screen. When his dad went out to get some food, I handed him the controls and showed him how and where to press the buttons. He could only press one button and it was a hard one but he kept it up for about 2 minutes or so. I imagine that is one physical therapy exercise he won't mind working on. Really though, the problem with it is that he does remember doing it so well that he's extra annoyed with his hands for not obeying his bruised up brain's signals. It will all work out!
Please keep visualizing him as completely well and every step it takes for him to get there.
Thanks so much for all the love being sent to this cute little red head.
Thanks for all the notes and calls and especially thanks to his cousins Isabelle, Sophia, and Eva for their faxed note to the hospital! We love you girls!
