A Special Massage for Suzanne-Wednesday AM

Yesterday Mike looked up at Susie and asked her to sit down next to him as he patted his bed. When she moved in next to him, he begin to massage her back. Mike may not have all the words to express his thoughts but his actions speak of love and thankfulness.

Mike continues to grow stronger. He has been taking his daily walk around the tenth floor, shaving, bathing and feeding himself and making keen observations- commenting on helicopters near his window, comparing glowing Seattle sunsets with ones from San Diego and asking Kevin and Rose 'How are things in Olympia?'.

However, his language development and recall are frustrating to him as he searches for words and thoughts to connect them. He has also had some restless nights as his sleep patterns have been short and inconsistent.

Thanks again for your support and love.
