He is doing well with his therapy and really trying hard. This past weekend was awesome! My mom and Aunt Gaye were able to see how great he did. He is nodding Yes and No now....which is really helpful when you are talking with Jay. He is able to hold a pen with his hand now and use his thumb better. He did some drawings with me and just got the idea of holding a pen. He was very interested in drawing and was trying very hard. He made more noise for me this weekend and on command. I would tell him to make noise and move his lips and he did. No words yet, but he is very close. I am so proud of Jay and his efforts this past weekend. He wanted to know about the accident and doesn't remember anything. My mom does a great job of reassuring him that he is getting better and he has to continue to work real hard and then he can come home.
