He's awake!!

He's awake and knows what's going on. He nods yes and no to tell me what he wants. He points at things to let me know what he needs. For example, he was pointing away from him and I was able to figure out that he was wanted the blanket off because he was hot. I then asked if he wanted a fan on him and he nodded yes. I asked him earlier if he knew who I was an he nodded yes and nodded that he knew I was Erika. I had to ask to make sure he wasn't just being nice:) He just "asked" me to turn on the TV and now he is back asleep. At least now I know he is still normal in there, first thing is he's hot and he wants to watch TV :) Now that's my Liam:) He's still got a long way to go, but he's doing so much better. James was here earlier and Liam was giving him a couple big thumbs up. James left a couple soccer balls and some permanant markers and paint pens. Next time you stop by, please sign the soccer balls for him. This was Chris Michael's idea from what James said and I love it. My blogs are going to be short, cause he keeps waking up all the time and I want to only pay attention to him when he is awake, but I just want all of you to know how great he is doing. I guess no more haging out in the waiting room, we have to hang out in his room now that he is awake more!

    Hi, Steve & Lynn in Galveston,TX. Thanks to all of you for doing such a great job posting. From what Frank has told us it sounds like he is progressing faster than expected. :)

    Erika,

    Thanks ever so much for setting up calls. You're an enormous help to Liam and us. It's almost like being there.

    Could we try Skype sometime if you have a video camera on your laptop?

    Fantastic progress today. I'm putting everyone on notice here that I'll be leaving soon. I'll probably only be able to stay a few days on the first visit until Linda gets stronger.

    She sends her love to you both.

    Thank you!

    Much love,

    Frank

    Hi Erika
    This ia Pat Michael, Chris and Pam's mom. Just wanted you to know how much you and Liam have been in our thoughts and prayers over the last week. I don't know if you know this, but we spent a week at COH with Chris when he was small. It was very hard to do - exhausting, actually. I'm so glad you got to go home yesterday for a while so you could be a little rested for the big events today!
    Anyhow, thanks for keeping us informed through the blog, and don't worry about posting - spend as much time as you can with him - it's obviously helping as he is doing so well.
    Take Care
    Pat
