4:30pm
Taylor's first day at rehab is going good. His friends Tim Valdez and Katie Kimelton came down to visit. He was REAL glad they made the trip.
He also got dressed around 2pm and went outside for a couple of hours in a special kind of wheelchair that allows him to lay back. It's like a recliner on wheels. Once he builds up the strength, we can take him for a cruise on some concrete trails that run around the property here.
I told Taylor that a lot of his friends check the blog each day, and I have deliberately not put a current photo of him on the site. I asked if it was OK if I put a current photo on, and he said it was. Unfortunately, I left my camera at home, so I'll have to do that tomorrow.
Taylor is using his right hand and arm a LOT more than he has been. Today he showed me how quickly he can make a fist with his right hand, and I was REALLY surprised. His right hand/arm and leg has been very slow. In the past couple of weeks we noticed him moving his right leg more, and we've noticed him moving his right arm and hand more. But, the speed at which he's using it recently is really surprising. And, that's without getting cranked up at rehab so we're all expecting to see some major improvements soon.
10:00pm TAYLOR SPEAKS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Taylor talked, but this time it was no fluke. He talked and talked until he got tired and went to bed. We'll tell you more about it tomorrow.

Taylor, you look great. You are talking, you are in rehab, and you are making so many strides it isn't funny. Hey, ask your mom, " read any good books lately?". She will hoot on that one.
Love, Mel
