My how time flies when your'e having fun! And fun we are having -- Caleb now has his music and does his jiggy dance in his mind -You all heard that Shaye and Kai came up and got the surfers salute which brought tears to their eyes. Also at the very end of his therapy session, his nurse wanted him to wake up a little and work for another 5 min. Caleb was giving her the "eye" which all of you know to be a very determined NO. She said -" Caleb - do you want to fight"? at which time he held up two fists and pretended to fight with her. He wrote 3 of the letters in his name and then fell asleep again -- he is coming back to us all! This is exhausting work - but his nurses are competant and won't let him get lazy. The cast of characters up here is hilarious - including Calebs room-mate's family from Fall Riva. Dad is a coke head I am certain, and mom just talks incessantly about nothing - mostly directed at me because hubby ignores her . Another guy walks the halls passing out pamplets on Hematoma which he has stolen from the front desk. Caleb and I are rolling our eyes! Kai and Shay met "Buster" - the vet in the wheelchair who I really believe does'nt need to be here - I think he believes he checked into a hotel.. I believe we landed on the psych ward. So each day Caleb has 3 sessions of therapy - Physical, Occupational and speech.. one hour in each. He has made incredible progress in so short a time. It is difficult at times to watch him stuggling with tasks so basic but I keep dipping his toes into the sand which Kai brought from LeCounts beach and I tell him all his friends are waiting there for him- waiting for him to come home. This seems to help him to concentrate and to work ever so much harder. I know how badly he will want to be in your company again and this will spur him onward. This coming Wed he will be transported back to Mass General so that his wires will come out - it is important to me that lots of you make it to the circle this week- I know you all have busy lives but I am asking this as a personal favor to Caleb - he needs extra prayers for this one - his eye will be repaired and I want that to go well. Caleb is doing fine and soon we are going to be raging the halls in helmets and wheelchairs right along side Buster rippin the place up and placing piraty Potter paraphnalia all over the place! I love you all - I cannot tell you how much these comments of yours mean to me and that your incredibly strong thoughts and words and prayers mean to Caleb Love, Mumsie
