Sean's physcial therapist, Jodi, is very excited about the progress that he has shown from day to day. In one session near the end of the week, Sean pushed her hand away from his shoulder as she was massaging some tightness out of it. This is a good sign that his motor skills and reactionary skills are improving.
Jodi went so far as to request that Frank and Kathy allow her to film Sean for future patients in physical therapy who are recovering from a similar injury. She said that she feels he is the ideal patient for this type of treatment and is very enthusiastic about his recovery.
Sean is keeping his eyes open for large parts of the day. He is not focusing well on anything but does blink at times when a hand is waved in front of him.
Sean has yet to say any words but has progressed fairly well in speech therapy. Currently they are working on his ability to swallow again with the goal of allowing him to eat and drink eventually.
I may be wrong but I sense Sean's first words since the accident may come soon and I personally am pulling for....."GO COLTS".....but even "GO SAINTS" would be fine with me.
Keep praying and lets pull for a real good week!!!
More to come soon.....Steve
