Today was a really good day. Chance walked way down the the playroom and back. This is at the other end of the hall. There were a couple of girls in the room and they yelled out "Hi Chance" and all he did was grunt at them.

He has seemed to be really down in the dumps and wasn't responding to me or anyone else when asked questions. I talked to Dr. Vining about it and she told me that it was normal. She then proceeded to talk to him and told him it was unacceptable to be that way. She asked him why he wouldn't talk to me and he told her 'because I don't want to'.

Well, there you have it. She talked to him a bit more and I haven't had any problems since.

Daddy, Dee, Trevan and Pappy Joe came down today. Daddy is here to stay for awhile. Yeah!!!

Chance got a whole bunch of cards from Katie's church. He also go balloons, checkers and a cow from my coworkers at AES. He is holding onto that cow. Marci sent him a blanket for his bed and I had to put his quilt away. He wanted that instead!! Thank you everyone.

Chance threw up a couple of times today. They pulled out his feeding tube and now he can eat a bit easier. He isn't eating much but it is a start. Chance is a HUGE eater. For him to put away 3 pieces of pizza is nothing. For dinner tonight, he had a small bite of meatloaf with gravy, 3 small bites of mashed potatoes with gravy and a few spoonfuls of chicken noodle soup broth. Now he's full.

After he ate dinner, he wanted to go for a walk. I was so suprised because all he has wanted to do was sit in his room. Daddy and I got the wheelchair fixed up and he walked over to it and had a seat. Then we showed Daddy around the floor. We showed him the playroom and tried to get the fish to kiss his finger but they wouldn't. We made it the whole way around the circle and didn't get sick. Now he is worn out and in bed watching one of his favorite things in the world, wrestling. Let me just say - woo hoo.
