Day 133 - Oct 11, 2008

Not a whole lot happened today. Kevin did wolfe (sp) down a whole cheeseburger from McDonalds for dinner and it was just so nice to see. I love watching his tongue and facial muscles get stronger every day.

I am also very excited because Kevin opted to go to a pizza/football party today. They have events every day here for the patients on 5 North, but Kev never wants to go. Today I mentioned it and he was nodding yes and got that excited little gleam in his eyes. It probably has to do with the pizza more than the football - but I am just not sure, lol. I will say this - he CLEARLY says Steelers now. And he also says THANKS clearly. It took him a long time to get the "S" down pat on the end of 'thanks'. But he did it, and I am so proud of him!

One other thing that is really cool is that we have been Skyping with our friends and family now. If you don't know what Skype is - it's a video conferencing program that allows you to talk for free over the internet. It also allows you to see the person you are talking to, as long as they have a webcam. It's a fun little application!

So this kinda sums up the day. I had planned to go to the casino last night, but Kevin actually woke up before I got out of the room and didn't go back to sleep until almost 1am. I NEVER leave before he goes to sleep, so we just didn't make it to the Hard Rock last night. BUT - we're goin' now! So toodaloo everybody!

Smiles all around. My heart swelled just a little as I could tell from your comments that you were so proud of all Kevin's accomplishments of the day. I'm thrilled for all of you....You can't beat a mother's love, and the hand of God.
