June 15th

Last night mom and dad visited Nicholas as they usually do on Wednesday evenings. They have now capped off his Trach. His nurse from the previous day gave a report of great news that he had been very responsive and that he was 5 for 5 with his swallowing. Hopefully pretty soon they will begin to feed him through his mouth.

Mom and dad said when they first arrived he was very relaxed. Mom told him it was time to wake up it had been too long and she needed him to respond. Nicholas responded to her commands and he even stretched out his arm and pointed to her when asked. Nicholas was also tracking mom with his eyes and continues to get better with that as well.

Overall yesterday was a good visit and we just hope he will continue to respond more frequently and start to speak soon.

To the Trahan family from the Danny & Rebecca Trahan family. We have been praying for all of you, and hope the news continues to get better. Nick would always tell Tyler that "The Trahan's with black hair were all sexy." Tyler said to tell Nick that his other,sexy black haired Trahan friend,said to get better. And we sure miss you coming around Nick. We'll keep praying that your recovery speeds up! And to the family-we know how hard this recovery is, because we had a smiliar miracle with me (Rebecca), and God will bless Nick's life for the Good! Your relationships will probably be the most important things in all of your lives, and that is what LOVE is all about. So from these Trahan to you all Trahan's we love you and will keep praying for you.
