I made it to Taylor at about 4:30pm today. Shortly after I got here, he started being funny. He's always funny, but today he was on a roll. Unfortunately, some may be offended by the things he said so I won't repeat them here. Nothing too off color, but the kinds of things I imagine he and his friends sit around and say. He cracked me up off and on all night until he finally closed his eyes to try to sleep a few minutes ago.
He said he rode the stationary bike in rehab for 15 minutes, sat upright on a flat surface for 30 minutes, and walked more with the walker. He said he can feel himself getting stronger every day. And, he's finally able to see the progress we have enjoyed watching for many weeks.
Every day he talks about how badly he wants to go home, but he understands that he can't leave here until he's the best he can be. And, he knows he'll continue to improve even after he leaves rehab.
The appointment to get the Trach looked at is this Thursday about an hour after his appointment with his Neurosurgeon. Worst case is the size will be reduced, which should help him breath a little easier. Best case is it comes out completely.

Way to go Taylor! You are making such awesome progress. All you needed was to get to rehab.
Love to my little Lauren too!
