What a busy morning! Jamie went down for his xray swallow test, and even though he did much better as far as the sitting upright, etc. goes, his throat muscles are not ready for him to eat food yet. When he gets to rehab, he will have intensive speech therapy to get those muscles stronger.
He has seen all his doctors this morning, and they're all pleased with his progress. Here's the most exciting thing, though: Dr. Bernard (one of his neurosurgeons) came in this morning and said, "Jamie, have you had any movement on your left side? How's that left leg?" And Jamie promptly lifted his left leg! We were amazed, and the whole trauma team was giving him high fives when they came in and saw what he could do.
We are so thankful for all your prayers and support - keep the prayers coming! There's a possibility that Dr. McLanahan (his other neurosurgeon) will replace his skull bone this weekend. After that recovery he's off to rehab!

That's great news! We really appreciate the constant updates to the blog. Jamie's progress over the past month has been amazing.

Dr. McLanahan is a genius! You are lucky to have him on your team. I have seen, first hand, the miracles he is capable of with a friend's daughter.
Your entire family continues to be lifted up daily. We all are vibing high fives to Jamie and the family.
