Isaiah has been moved to Boise to a rehab hosptal, so our hopes are high that the therapy he will recieve there will bring him out of the coma. It is odd that he does so much, yet is still technically in a coma. His mom, Beckey, posted this yesterday: (Layken and Shannon are Isaiah's sisters and Samantha is the baby Layken just had before Isaiah's accident)
"Just as I expected Isaiah slept most of the day on Wednesday. Layken, Samantha, Shannon and myself came and went throughout the day. Later in the afternoon Isaiah really started to wake up. Layken decided to bring Sam over to visit her Uncle "Buck". What happened next was just amazing. Isaiah reached his hand out over to Sam and put it gently on her her thigh and stared at her for the longest time. Layken had sat Sam next to Isaiah. Everytime Isaiah would cough he would remove his hand and then put it back, touching his niece. This went on for a little while. Sam started to get fussy so Layken took her away to feed her. Isaiah seemed to reach out his arm to Sam as if to say, "I wasn't done." Layken saw that and told Isaiah she would bring her back. She did, and Isaiah responded the same by touching her on her leg. Layken asked him a couple to times to hold her hand and he did. He did!! Layken then told Isaiah that we were leaving and to tell Sam goodnight. She was sitting upright with Layken's help, next to Isaiah. He brought his hand around Sam's back and brought her to his chest. We all cried. This was the most responsive Isaiah has been all week. I am awe struck at the power of family and the impact they play on one's healing. Watching my son interact with his neice was a powerful picture of this. This has renewed our "hope" for Isaiah's future healing process. My girls have left this morning but they have committed to coming back on Monday. This will be nice because I will feel comfortable going home for a couple of days and sleep in my own bed and pamper my husband.I am praying for another impactful day for our son. Jaymz Hayes and his family will be coming to Boise for some appts. They will stop by to visit and I am hopeful that Isaiah will be able to communicate with them as well."...But we will trust in the Lord".
Tonight I am going to my friend Sue's for a girls night out. That should be fun for us! Ashleys band, Wake Up Jane, is playing Saturday at the Youth Arts festival in Joseph. It won't be the same without Isaiah on the guitar, but it will still be good. I think 7 out of the ten songs they are singing they wrote themselves.
Life is quiet, thankfully.
