I went to see Colton today and I can't believe the difference! He looked so much better without the tube in his mouth. When I got there he looked right at me and the whole time I was talking to him he looked me right in the eyes. The nurse came in to suction his mouth out and when she was doing it he shook his head no at her! So now if you ask him something he can give a very definite no. His head nod for yes is not very clear, I think because it hurts his neck to shake his head up and down with the new trach in. He seemed sleepy so I told him he could close his eyes if he wanted to and he shook his head no at me. They had his tv on Disney channel and when I asked if he liked the show that was on he shook his head no. When I asked if he wanted me to change it to nickelodeon he tried to shake his head yes. He gets frustrated when he can't do it and he tries so hard he ends up coughing. Anyway, he is doing better and better everyday. Thank you all so much for your prayers and keep them coming! They are why he is doing so well.
