I had a great chat with Lane tonight! He was exhausted from PT but very optimistic and upbeat. He is seeing progress and the therapists are surprised and shocked by it. He can wiggle all five fingers on his left hand, can flex his left foot up and down (similar to pushing the accelerator in your car) and the major muscle groups on the left side if his body are showing signs of life and responding to stimuli! He is learning to use his new sip and puff wheel chair and has a new roommate (the last one was a loud sleeper so in turn Lane was not sleeping). He says it’s great to be back in normal clothes rather than a gown and he has a little more sense if normalcy. He was excited to hear about the BBQ but bummed he missed out on free beer. He has tapered off of most of the medications that the hospital put him on and as mentioned is much more positive. Those thoughts and prayers are working so please keep up with them. Thank you to everyone for their continued support!
