We had another major milestone yesterday - Taylor signed up for classes at the PCC/USF campus in Lakeland starting in January. He's taking Sociology, English Lit and College Success. We've never seen him as excited about going to school as he is right now. Before the accident, school was something he did to fill some down time. He was always able to just show up in class and do well. Now, he's actually motivated to get back to class and to focus on getting on track. Just this morning, while Lauren was getting ready for school at 6:30am, he woke up and started talking about school. He said he planned to go to bed at 9pm each night so he'd be rested for school. That won't happen, but it sounds good.
Just like our trip to the mountains last month, his registering for classes makes us again think about how far from reality his going back to school seemed 6 months ago.
Taylor's walking seems to have really improved in the past 2 weeks. He seems more stable than he has been, and doesn't walk with a "slice" like he has in the past sometimes. And, he says he feels that his walking has become stronger. A week or so ago, he said he had tried "jogging", but forgot to tell his friends he was going to give it a whirl. He said they yelled out "WHAT in the **** are you DOING?" and he told them he was trying to jog. He said it actually went pretty well, but don't expect to see him enter any footraces anytime soon.
