As I suspected, James had a good night of sleep after being up so much yesterday. He woke up and ate his entire breakfast of cartoons, eggs, bacon and a peanut butter sandwich.
Shortly after breakfast, PT showed up and took JT down to the rehab room where he played with big Legos to work on using those arms and hands. In doing so he had to walk a few steps to and from the wheelchair. The plan for the foreseeable future is PT twice a day. We'll meet with the entire team next Tuesday to go over the entire rehab plan.
Dr. Deano, one of the neurosurgeons, swung by and raised JT's fluid shunt (to technical to explain in a blog). This will test JT's own fluid dispersion. He feels that JT may be ready for a CT scan on Friday to see how the fluid pressure/ventricle is doing. Based on what is seen, maybe the shunt then comes out.
You all have blessed us with your prayers and thoughts and we appreciate each and every one. Today, along with thinking about JT, out thoughts and prayers go out to Liam (an old poker friend of mine)and his wife, Katie, who are here while their young twins have some procedures. Liam and Co.- You are in our prayers.
Now back to watching some Tom & Jerry and quiet time. Hopefully more later.
Love to you all,
dct

Hello Taylor Family! Just dropping in from Florida to say Hi! Glad things are going well. :) We are planning our trip up to Maine in mid to late September, so tell the little man to practice eating his ice cream with his right hand so when we come up to visit we can have an ice cream party!!!
