Well, not in the traditional sense, but I consider it his first word. This afternoon Sheldon was given a white board and marker to write us a message. His first word... "Crystal." It was amazing! I am so honored. To be fair, the nurses/physiotherapists asked him who I was and he wrote the answer, so I guess I should not let my ego get too inflated. When mom asked him to write how he was feeling, Sheldon wrote "I feel good." What a trooper.
He is looking much better again today. He sat up for about 45 minutes this afternoon and had a hair wash. Despite all this, Sheldon is still very weak and these activities tired him out quite a bit. He has some extra motivation to get well though. As I was leaving his room they wheeled in a Nintendo console... I suspect he will be "pwning" Andrew and Lonnie at racing games in the near future.
As for the airway - it is still very swollen. Please continue to pray that Sheldon's breathing will improve and that the respirator can be removed as planned on Monday.
