Hi family and friends!
We Jacob and Lilly, along with Otto and Elda are very excited to be here with Abe and Hertha now, to see the progress that's happening. It definitely looked like he got excited about seeing Jacob. He looked and looked at him for a long time, trying to talk with moving his lips. Abe constantly puts his hand up to rub his right eye, and his lower lips. When he yawns saliva may drip and he wipes it with his hand. Generally he will swallow when needed.
Dr. Matteo came in and said he was very happy with Abe's progress today. They started to feed him supplements today, and he's doing great! His intestines are starting to work. No throwing up at all. He says if he'll keep doing fine with this he'll soon teach Hertha (family), how to tube feed him and we can go home to Belize with Abe. Hertha asks you though, to keep believing for a miracle of not needing any tubes to go home.
Dr says, they did catscan yesterday and the test looks beautiful, better than expected. He says there's no dark spots on his brain. Abe shows strong emotions, if Dr. pinches him. Dr. says he definitely hears us talking. The blood clot is nicely disappearing.
By looking at the eyes/pupils, the Dr. measures Abe's brain awareness. Abe is currently at 2. A healthy normal person is at 1. The first three days after the accident, Abe was at 4 which is the worst stage, or no response/unconscious stage.
Looking forward to another great day, where we expect to see Gods goodness!
