Jackson's tongue is working again! ;-) The cause was due to the max swelling of the brain. He is able to eat. The Neuro and Surgeon were not worried, since he was able to drink a bottle. They both said his muscles were working. Speech Therapist thought he did fine this afternoon. All is well!
Jackson will get his drainage tube out first thing in the morning. He will check out of this floor on Thursday and then will move to the Rehabilitation for a week to work on Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy and Speech. If we have to be in Detroit an additional 7 -10 days at least he will receive lots of therapy to jump start his road to recovery.
They will do PT, OT and ST - each twice a day for 45 minutes each. Poor little guy won't get much of a break, but we will have to think of something fun to celebrate soon!

Good news! That's awesome about the therapies too. He'll be able to make up all the therapies he's missed in one week!! Make sure he eats his Wheaties first!
That is great!
Great News!!! He is such a strong little boy:) Hope things continue to go well.

What a relief to see his tongue working again!!!
Wow...that's great he is getting so much therapy. I bet he will be sleeping great at night :)
Dear Meghan, Tony and Jackson.... Mickey and I want you to know that you and your family have been in our daily thoughts and prayers. We hope that everything continues to improve (and we're confident that it will!). Jackson is definitely a real trooper and it is fantastic to see him getting past this!!!
