October 11

Jeremy had a relaxing day with his family. Eric, Stephen, Courtni and Kristen were all here to visit with him and help him get over this "not eating" thing. This evening he ate his entire dinner!! Ya!!

When the speech therapist came (this was one of the week-end ones that hadn't seen him but once or twice - last time about a month ago) Jeremy was in a pretty bad mood. He was upset about something. Shortly he calmed down and she got him to say many more words. Bye, My, pie, hi, boo, mom, and momma were among them. We were trying to encourage him to put a little more force behind the boo. I don't think he will be terrifying the hospital with his "boo" but it all sounded wonderful. She was so impressed with how much progress he has made in such a short amount of time. She asked him some comprehension questions and was equally impressed with his answers. She tried some abstract questions and he just answered them. Were not sure if he thought them stupid or if he didn't understand or if he wasn't paying attention to the questions.

Thank you for your prayers!
