What a difference a day makes

Hi All,

Well its about 6:30pm. Colby has been moved to a different bed in ICU to an area called moderate care. Its a little more quiet down here, better for his EEG. No new news yet from anyone but he just looks so much better today then yesterday. He's still pretty much out of it but he's eating really well. Just got done feeding him almost 4 ounces from a bottle, he took it down great and he's ticked off right now, crying up a storm, all of this good stuff. Last night he was just not in a good place, overstimulated and moaning, had a small seizure etc. I woke up this morning just carrying the weight of the day ahead and kinda dreading it. But now it feels like a whole new world. He still has a long road and we don't entirely know whats going on yet, but just watching him making some kind of forward progress and hearing some optimistic words from the Neuro team makes us happy. Cooper came up today and we got to hang with him for the afternoon, that lifted us up to. They had a beach party up at the family resource center so we took Coop up there and he fished for a prize, built a marshmallow castle and learned how to surf on the carpet. He had a blast. It made us all smile just watching him.

We were talking earlier how we are living our own episode of HOUSE. I'm sure most of you are familiar with the drama on fox about a doc trying to figure out medical probs. Were just waiting for Hugh Laurie (House himself) to walk in, cane and all, and tell us off.

Like I said no new info yet, as soon as we hear anything well let you all know. I'm guessing nothing today. Colby's currently ticked off and were just trying to calm him down.

We also have a male nurse on this shift right now, which is totally fine, but I can't help think about the movie Meet the Parents, with Greg Focker, who's a male nurse. When DeNiro says, Greg's in the medical field...he's a male nurse! Just put a smile on my face.
