In other news, yesterday was pet therapy day at the rehab center. Dogs are brought in to interact with the patients. Although I wouldn't say that Paul is a dog person, he really seemed to connect with a couple of the dogs, feeding them treats. The therapist even got Paul to throw a tennis ball for one of the dogs to catch. This is significant because the apraxia has been keeping Paul from being able to throw. Until yesterday, he would hold a ball out and seemed to be trying hard but just couldn't let go of the ball or make a throwing motion. Another small, but significant, step in his recovery.
Thank you everyone for your support and wonderful comments.

Patty,
I met Paul only once at an LMA conference so I don't know him well but I wanted to say that he's very fortunate to have such a loving, caring wife. I'm sure it's been difficult, but your updates are informative, considerate and very touching. Best wishes to your entire family - I will keep Paul in my thoughts.

Hey Guys,
It's wonderful news to hear that Paul is making tremendous progress. I can't imagine how wonderful it must've felt to hear Paul say Buzz's name in such a tender moment. That might be his best birthday present ever!

You're such a sweet, beautiful boy.
I miss you all,
