the day after

Swelling, which was something expected, has happened today, which has slowed some of the progress he was making with his eating and drinking, but he is still doing great. His reflexes are amazing and he can talk and ask for things he wants and needs. We went down for a MRI this morning and he did well. I think the worst part for him was moving him around from bed to bed. 

It has really touched my heart all the thoughts and prayers we have had from so many people. It really is amazing to see how blessed we are with so many caring people in our lives. 

Yesterday after surgery, the social service worker came down and said that they had a gift they would like to give us if that was OK. We said it was and due to the generosity of Pascal's Pal's and the donations they received, they gave Arion a New I-pad. This amazing gift will not only help boost his ego and undoubtedly give my children another thing to disagree on, it has a notebook and onscreen keyboard. His sister went on yesterday to help set it up and she found a sign language app for him to learn and also maybe to teach us how to sign. 

Also today we ask no visitors in his room. I don't mind if you
would like to visit in the waiting room, just know that you won't be able to see Arion. 

We love you and thanks for everything!!
