Feb 4, Morning

Hunter started off with a restless night, His nurse Jessica could see he wasn't going to get some rest, so they gave him some sleeping medicine so he would sleep.
He slept frown 1:00 - 6:00 then lights on.

First thing he wanted was his ball we bought him yesterday so he can play. He played ball with Jessica for 4 hrs. When we say play ball its like playing with a toddler. You give him the Ball, he throws, you chase, then give it back to him. But today playing with his dad, Duane will throw the ball by Hunters hand, he has to find it and throw it back.

the Infectious Disease Dr. came in this morning, Hunter's white blood count is 22,000today, as long as it goes down that's good.

Physical therapist came in just now and worked with Hunter, He had to count with his fingers thumb to first finger, then second etc..... He did well. She gave him a comb and asked if he knew what to do with it and he throw it down. (Little does she know he's never been able to learn that one before, but at least when she handed him a tooth brush he opened his mouth and tried to reach it.

As far as knowing any damage Hunter may have from the fall, this is the only way we will find out, is by working with him and seeing what he can and can't do.

They're working on his legs now, they work with them first to see the strength he has for when it's time to walk. he's able to kick but needs more on bending.

Dr. Davis hasn't come in yet, we are still waiting. but it's not even 9:00 yet.

Duane and I just really want to Thank everyone for everything they have done. I'm not usually one to ever ask for help.

I started doing thank you notes, but can't remember where I've put them. Half the time I'm looking for something like sunglasses, I find them on my head. Cellphone, looked for it, it was in my sweatshirt pocket the whole time. I'm not "losing it" anymore, I've Lost it. But that's beside the point.

We are so amazed of things and notes people have done or wrote in. Things we've never thought you would do for others in a time like this.
Again, Thanks so much.

Kimberly and Duane
