It's neat to see that Bob can laugh at himself for things that he has done over the past four months. I tell him things that he's done, and he laughs and says, "I really did that?" For example, I showed him all of the small stuffed animals and toys different people got him to squeeze. (For months, he needed to be holding something in his hands.) He laughed. I also told him that he couldn't remember may name until a few days ago. He apologized, then said he won't forget my name.
The nurses are so excited to see such progress. Nurses who haven't seen him everyday, were stopping in today to give him positive encouragement because they have heard such great things.
We played a few games of Connect Four tonight. Amazing! Two weeks ago, the concept of lining up four game pieces was way out of his comprehension. Tonight, he could only focus on getting his four pieces lined up. He couldn't do that and block my pieces at the same time. Give him another week of recovery and I bet he'll give me a run for my money. ;-)
A PRAYER FOR TODAY FROM JOEL OSTEEN
"Father in heaven, I choose to trust that You are working things out for my good. I choose to stand in faith, believing that my season of breakthrough is coming. Give me Your strength and peace as I patiently wait on You. In Jesus' Name. Amen."
