Sorry for the delay on this update, I’ve been busy and like to update when I go to get lots of detail for you the reader. But, it’s been over a week since I last went, so I did want to give you something before my next visit.
Elizabeth and the kids went with Patti last week to see him and Liz said it went really well. Daniel didn’t know who Liz was at first, calling her Mrs. Brown. But after some help, he got her name and then knew Katelyn and with some help even Joshua, whom he’s probably only seen a handful of times prior to the accident. This is good due to the lack of short term memory. But again, he was helped on getting Joshua’s name. 
Daniel enjoyed his time with Joshua actually playing with him. He would make funny noises at Joshua and talk to him. Liz said he was totally grabbing Joshua’s attention and even making him laugh. Children really do brighten people up!
Liz said they saw him do therapy and Joshua enjoyed showing off his new trick to Daniel, crawling on the mats. Liz said that Daniel did really well in therapy and was impressed with him using his wheel chair.
Patti told me Monday that she has decided after much prayer and discussion with family and friends that she will be bringing Daniel home after he’s released. Scheduled release is February 14th, which could changed due to his feeding tube. She is excited to have him home but at the same time a little nervous with the tough road that lies before her and him. But she has faith in God that He will be there for both of them and things will be fine.
Be praying for Patti that she will have continued strength, both physically and mentally, when Daniel comes home. Pray for their financial future and for Daniel’s continued recover. Pray that him coming home will have him jumping leaps and bounds cognitively and that his physical condition will improve.
I hope that the entire family can go see him in the next week and that I will have some more pictures and a great entry for you all to read. Keep checking back for updates. Thanks!
