August 16th 2011

Last night Billy slept very well so I spent a good deal of time talking to Ron in his room. I could tell he could hear me but only because his breathing would increase. I played the Beach Boys for him all night long. This morning I brought back the old school and played Barenaked Ladies.

This morning we found out that Billy will have to wait to go to the Shepherd Center because their insurance people are... well... I do not like them. None of us do.

But also this morning while Jill was helping Billy do some things I went to visit Ron again. Ron Sr and I were sitting there and Ron Jr OPENED HIS EYES!!!!! At first we thought it was just a response to the nurse aggravating him but Sr and I kept talking to him. Sr asked him to blink his eyes if he could hear us and understand, he did it. He continued to do it a few more times. While I was in there later in the morning I was talking to him and he would look at me on and off. I told him to open his eyes and look at the picture of his boy Sawyer I had in front of him and he did. So it is definitely official that he understands what we are saying. This is such a blessing!!! I knew it would happen but it was when and none of us have great patience. 

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR ALL YOUR PRAYERS AND SUPPORT!!!!!
