From Brendan's brother, Donovan:
"Brendan maintained his energy level from yesterday; he was pretty much up around 1/4 of the time. Vitals all look good again. He impressed the doctor by responding to requests (wiggle toes and fingers multiple times, did it each time). Brendan nodded that he could feel pressure when applied to his right side. The doc stresses that it's still very early but that he is doing great considering... Doc stresses things are still very early right now and his mind is focused on rest and repair. Outcomes are highly variable, and recovery is very slow, with a caveat that Brendan is taking big and important first steps up the mountain he has to climb to where he is going. We're looking into rehab options for the next stage.
"We went through all the material in the room today; all of the pictures, letters from his class and track team, cards from everyone, etc... He spent a couple of hours sitting up in a chair; tried to wiggle out of it."
"He often nods when I ask him if he wants to listen to music, though sometimes he still doesn't seem to reply."
Finally, he waved his left arm (with the cast) to several family members as they Skyped.
As always, thank you all!!!
