9/7 Update

To all of our support group,

Todd had an eventful day today. He started to open his eyes, we do not know how focused he is though. He cannot follow commands yet. He is beginning to have a little more movement on his left side, he even tried cracking his knuckles with one hand. He reacted to stimulus on his right arm and leg but it is not as strong as his left side.

The Pulmonary doctor was in today also. They will restart antibiotic treatment because they are worried about pneumonia. They will also do a chest cat scan to monitor for blood clots in his lungs. The chest x-ray thus far looked good.
A Sunnyview representative was in today to discuss tentatively moving Todd to Sunnyview on Monday so they can get rehab started as soon as possible. This will happen as long as he remains stable and doesn't hit any bumps in the road.
As of now we are discouraging visitors at Sunnyview. We all want what is best for Todd and the Dr's do not want over stimulation, for we don't know when Todd fully awakens what he'll recognize or remember. You can imagine how frightening that would be to anyone in this situation. We all want to respect Todd's dignity and privacy. We will however keep you posted and updated on Todd's progress. We thank you all for your understanding. Please continue to pray for Todd and our family during this road to recovery. We accept this challenge as we know God will be with us every step of the way. God's Blessings to all.
