A couple of notes:
Mom's Aunt Jean passed away today. She died peacefully in her sleep. She was an Aunt, sister, and great friend to each of us. Please send prayers and thoughts to my mom and my Aunt's family.

I would like to ask a favor. Tomorrow the kids and I head home. We will be visiting in the morning, but will leave dads around 11. If you have free time tomorrow or Friday, I know it would lift his spirits to see a friendly face after saying goodbye to us.
Our visit has been amazing. The kids have put a light in him. He put a sentence together today. It was a heartbreaking one, but a sentence with purpose and originality. These are huge steps forward, and only show how far we can go.
He said, "I want to be with you". We talked about how much work he needs to be able to come home, and it is only possible there. When you see him, remind him how far he can go with the therapy. He has been approved for a talk assist device. Tobii dyvanox, http://www.tobiidynavox.com/t-series/ . So this will help with those thoughts as well.
Thank you so much for your continued love and support. It means the world to all of us!
BTW we celebrated Dad's birthday a week early. He was able to eat the Cane's chicken and Gigi's cupcake!

Sorry for the lack of posts. The therapy is back in action. Dad will get 4 days of physical therapy and 4 days of speech. This is incredible! They haven't put an end date on this yet, so we will just keep trucking along! We are trialing a speech program. One of those handy tablets that you press words, or pictures to speak for you. This will help the connections for Dad, as well as allow him to speak for himself (hopefully) We put the order in today, so hopefully it will arrive shortly. My kids have been here for a visit. He has just been glowing every day, even in the heat outside. We have been doing some block puzzles. I'm not sure who has been having more fun, us or dad.
