Saturday Night, February 6

Sean's Uncle Steve arrived from Florida this week and has spent alot of time with Sean at Kessler. Last night, Steve spent the night with Sean and stayed with him all day today.

Steve was very upbeat about his time with Sean. Sean showed signs of movement with his arms when reacting to touching. Steve was able to get Sean to engage in a little game of tug-o-war with a sock. Sean also began blinking his eyes when asked questions. Maybe a little of that Florida magic was just what the doctor ordered.

Sean's therapists and doctors remain positive although Sean is not awake or fully conscious yet. When asked if they thought he is where he should be progress-wise, the doctor responded that "it is never as fast a recovery as we want it to be". He went on to say that he has seen patients recover faster and he has seen patients recover slower....everybody is different.

Lets all keep praying that the road Sean is on is the road to full recovery.

More to come......Steve
