jeriendhalME: Still can't sleep worth a damn, even after taking a couple of Benedryl before bedtime. I considered myself lucky that I slept in until 2:45 this morning. The only real upside is that I actually get time to fool on the computer nowadays instead of riding herd on Thomas after I wake up. I should write more, but I spend most of my time playing Morrowind.
TOM: He's settled into the new daycare center without any problem, and is busy charming the heck out of his teachers. Lately he's taken a distinct interest in tumbling, and doing headstands propped up against the couch. Which is pretty neat considering Tracy and I haven't done a think to demonstrate these skills to him. More importantly he's really started to chatter in the past couple of weeks, forming two and three word sentences, letting us help him repeat words until he pronouces them properly, and identifying objects and people without prompting. It seems to be following the pattern that the doctor at K&K noted, with Tom running about a year behind other kids.
DAD: They're moving him out of the ICU this morning to a private room, which is encouraging. He's also (very carefully) exercising, and can sit up in a chair with some help from the nurses during the transfer. The downside is that the pain medication they've been giving him has made him really loopy and causing minor hallucinations. Such as yesterday he got angry with Mom and accused her of seeing another man. Which is so totally out of character for him (Dad is the most gentle, easy-going man I know) that it would be funny, if it hadn't made Mom burst into tears. I hope she'll be all right after my sister Robin leaves at the end of the week.
