ANDREW DAVIS BENEFIT

Andrew made it through the day fine, even from his fall. He’s been busy today with his therapists. His speech therapist has been continuing to work on different communication skills. He is getting rewarded with applesauce and pudding, which he really likes! My parents said he is definitely ready to eat some real food! We don’t know when that will be, but they can tell he is looking forward to it.

During his physical therapy today, Andrew was put in a harness and practiced walking down a little walkway. My Dad said by that point in the day, he was already wiped out from all of the strenuous activities.

When Dad called me, Andrew was watching Funniest Home Videos. It’s his new favorite show right now. He always cracks a smile watching it. That is something Jen and I can’t wait to see! My parents got to take him out to the courtyard today. They said it was a nice 10 minute walk and it was his first time outside of the hospital/center.

Mom and Dad are doing well. They like that Andrew is getting a lot of therapy during the week. They say he usually is more alert those days because his brain is thinking.

If you would like to send any letters directly to Andrew or my parents, here is his current address:

As November is the month for Thanks, I am thankful for my brother still being alive, my family, and all of our wonderful friends!
