Hey, what's up?
I just got some more pictures of David from Mom. I thought some of them showed some of David starting to come back. The update for today from Mom is that the David we know is still not there yet because those connections in his brain have not been made yet. He is more like a 2 year old David then the 17 year old David that we all know. Whatever he learned in the past is still with him, but he can't express it like he did before. He is still so sweet, says Mom, but just real monotone when he talks. The doctors feel that in 8 weeks that David will be 90% back to normal, but that last 10% will take 2 years. The doctors are also worried about over stimulation. They know how large the family is and are worried that everyone coming over to visit David will be too much for him and actually slow down his healing. When David gets home, the visits will have to be short and quiet. Let him do the reacting to you and don't be too excited. Mom said that we will have to take turns and maybe only 1 or 2 people a day will be able to see him so that he doesn't get over stimulated. Of course, we will have to see how he does with everything to know if even 2 visits is too much or if he is ready for more. So don't be offended if you can't see David right away. It will take some time for him to let us know what he wants or needs.

I'm so excited He is doing better. It seems like he is healing pretty quickly as far as physical concerns. I know a lot of people are praying for him.
=] yay for David!
