Hooray for friends:  David, Aaron, Dexter, Pennington
Improving

Spencer is continuing to improve. His memory is returning--we are making good use of our many photographs. Today Spen looked at the photos in my camera of when he was in ICU, connected to every conceivable tube, wire, and monitor. He was completely shocked. He remembers yesterday, but not much more of the last several weeks. Half of the staples from his surgery were removed today, and the other half will come out tomorrow. He will be transferred to a rehabilitation hospital soon (possibly just down to the fourth floor of Scottsdale Osborn). He continues to take lots of naps between therapies, and is still fighting the headaches. The problems with his left ear will not be addressed for about six weeks to allow him time to more fully recover from the brain injury.
With Spencer doing so well, I will be discontinuing the emails, but have started a blog for those who would still like to check on his progress. The blog is humptydumptyman.blogspot.com. In a few more days, I will post the pictures that Spen is comfortable sharing. We couldn't have made it through the past ten days without the love, support, and prayers from all of you, as well as the amazing blessings from our Heavenly Father. We cannot express our gratitude for the outpouring of love we have experienced. So many of you have offered assistance--just knowing that we could call on you has been hugely comforting. I have saved and compiled all of your well-wishes into an overwhelming log of love for Spencer and our family to treasure. We love you all. Thank you for helping save our son.
