He is TALKING!!!


Travis celebrated his 19th birthday this last week! He was able to come home for a couple hours during the weekend to celebrate with family and friends. About two weeks ago he spoke his first word and now he is carrying on a conversation!!! We are all so excited for his progress. He is now wanting to try to stand, which is an improvement. The picture above is him at home trying to stand (with help). I think he was a little too excited about that because that night when he went back to his rehab center he fell out of his bed, which is probably from trying to stand up. Who knows! My parents are trying to get him reevaluated to see if he can try to swallow on his own so he can eat by himself and maybe start some physical therapy. We are so happy for his improvement and hope he heals quickly! Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers.
