Brandon completed all three days of plasma replacement therapy successfully. It was a long procees and really wiped him out so we are really hopeful that he will react positively to this treatment. Brandon has been sleeping a lot over the last several days but always tries really hard during his various therapy times. During speech therapy today he was able to answer each of the questions asked with a nod 'yes' or 'no'. He was also able to mouth the words 'one, two. three' and his name, 'Brandon'! This was really exciting to see because we know that he can mouth the words and should be able to speak them when the time comes! Brandon is also making huge strides with physical therapy! He has now started using the muscles in his left arm and shoulder and is getting really good with his left hand. Throughought the day today he has been randomingly making the sign for 'I Love You'!
We love you too, buddy!
Brandon has been running a slight fever the last few days and is being treated with antibiotics. We hope that this will help him feel better soon so that he can prepare to move to the Neuro-Trauma Rehabilitation Unit here at the hospital! Rumor has it that this may happen as soon as Tuesday, if he is feeling better!
