After that we just came home and watched movies/tv. Kevin also talked on the phone quite often. Which reminds me - some of you have asked if Kevin can talk and the answer is sort of. He can say about 30 words or so, with more coming all the time. Two that he can say are yes and no and it's best if you keep to those kinds of questions. One thing I am unsure of is if he will remember everyone and I guess we'll just have to see. Mostly he needs pictures, but he has come a long way in the last few weeks and doesn't seem to need as much visual prompting.
Also, I want to thank everyone for sending me possible plastic surgeons. I guess I have my work cut out for me in researching who's the best. I know I need to get moving on this so hopefully I will get some time this week.
And I just want to end by saying that us staying at my parent's apartment has made a world of difference to Kevin. It is amazing how many things have 'come back' to him and I rarely see bouts of sadness anymore. I can't wait to take him home and see what kind of difference that makes. Just him being able to get around by himself and cook and shower without it being such a tight area will be amazing. I just can't wait to see how much he loves it there.
And now I am going to end with some pics of Kev on the phone and listening to his iPod.

It's wonderful to read so many "good day" posts in a row! I'm praying that many more will come. I'm glad that staying at the apartment has helped Kevin emotionally and cognitively and now that he has a phone, he must be even more motivated to learn more words. I love the photos and it warms my heart to see him look so content.
I'll be praying for continued good progress and good health so that Kevin can be released from the hospital on time. I'm thinking of you all and praying for you!
