Our prayers are slowly being answered!!! Nicholas had a great day Tuesday and an even better one today.
Tuesday during therapy he was able to kick a ball put in front of his right foot several times. He also showed a "hang ten" sign "long horn" sign when specifically asked to do them. He is also responding to "yes" and "no" questions with a thumbs up being yes and thumbs down being no.
Today, Nicholas vocalized on 5 different occasions for us. What I mean by vocalize is that when he opens his mouth he was actually making sounds and trying to talk. He is mouthing the words and learning how to use his vocal cords again and actually making word sounds. He said what I believe was hi, mom and even tried to sound out Amanda.
He was able to reach and find my engagement ring and turn it with his index finger then when asked he would move down my arm and turn my watch. He was aware even more today than he was just Sunday. Nicholas is still in the coma, but everyday he is closer and closer to coming out of it.
The pneumonia is totally clear and they were able to take him off of the antibiotics. Nicholas had clear chest x-rays as well as no congestion in his lungs.
I will have updates as soon as I get them and once again thank you all for the continued prayers and support.
