HIS FIRST ADVENTURE

Let me start of by saying... Connor is doing so well!

DAY #9

Yesterday evening:  Connor had a very good day yesterday!  He ate better and got to eat more things and spoke even more. And every time he did this... we celebrated!

He is eating a little from a spoon... although we have to take it very slow.

Giving Daddy high fives... and Daddy loves it!

Last night Connor got to break out of his room for the first time!  For a trip to the pumpkin patch they had down the hallway.  First they came and fitted Connor for his new ride (wheelchair)... then we went to the pumpkin patch, painted a pumpkin and had a cookie!  Look at the fun we had below!

He seemed to really enjoy his first little trip out of his room...and then we went back and rested for the evening.

Last Night:  Connor slept well.  He woke up once and asked for his cup and cookies.  So momma got him his cup and cookies!  It is so amazing how far he has come.  8 days ago we didn't know if he was going to wake up ... tonight he wakes up to ask for cookies!  What a miracle!

Today (Wednesday):  Connor has a big day planned today!  Daddy has already taken him for a walk in his new ride which he loved very much!  He asked for bacon this morning to eat!  Instead he got eggs and tator tots because they were afraid the bacon would be too hard on his stomach.  They don't want to do too much too soon... baby steps.   Soon he will get his bath and then it will be off to the gym for some rehab.   Then... he will get to go play bingo at 1!  Now... this sweet little boy has a lot on his agenda today... and we Celebrate!

Goals for Today:

Connor goes to rehab today... pray this goes well for him.

We need him to move his left side more... he did grab for his paci this morning with his left hand when his right one was held down... so we celebrate this!

We need him to try to sit up on his own.

He is getting a new boot for his left side today to try to help him walk.

We know all of this is just going to take time... for Connor's brain to relearn and to tell his left side how to work... but we know eventually with a lot of hard work and a lot of baby steps that it will happen.

Thanks to everyone for all the continued prayers for Connor and this family.  We know Connor has made so much progress because of the prayers and the fighter that is within him.

KEEP THEM COMING!
