"Knuckle-bump"

Hi all! Dylan is doing GREAT!! He had tons of company this past week, his cousins came up to see him on Thursday! Yay!! I know he enjoyed their visit and the pics were cute! :) Then on Friday Ms. Ronda came up to spend a few hours of time with Dylan and give hims some "sugar", which I know he enjoyed :) Saturday his Gaga, Aunt Dena, Uncle Chris and the "cuzzins", Brad, Tracey, Brandon and Tyler all came over to see him!! It was a party in Dylan's room!! :) He's doing so much more moving around right now :) He is moving his left arm quite a bit, he is able to lift it over his head and rub his hair, he even uses his hand to scratch his nose a lot ;) He is now using his right hand a bit more too, the aid was telling us that he is doing a lot in therapy too, his is taking things out of the therapists hand and holding them! He did that for us this weekend too, we had his ipod and we dangled it in front of him so he could see it and he lifted his hand and held onto it :) He is also doing the "knuckle-bump", thanks to Brad for trying this out, it's a new thing he's doing and is consistent with :) He is able to lift his head for longer periods of time and is aware of who is near him and what they are conversing about. He was smiling and laughing again this weekend!! I know the company he had made him sooo happy! He was also able to see his Aunt Sherry and Uncle Garry via oovoo, it's an online live chat that we joined, and visit with them a bit! There's a sponge thing that the nurses use to give Dylan medicine for his thrush on his tongue, we used one on Saturday to give him a bit of water and he actually grabbed it out of his mouth and put it down by his lap, then we let him hold onto it and he put it in his mouth too!!! So many new things he is doing!!

Yay Dylan!!! - Keri
