After a rough Wednesday we had a positive Thursday! Doctors let us know that the incisions from surgery are healing well. As long as Will stays strong and his lungs clear up (pneumonia is normal in the hospital) they can take out his breathing tube and give him a tracheotomy! A trach, while it sounds scary will allow William to have he mouth back and increase the possibility of easier communication... Tyra Banks would be proud of how well he can "talk with his eyes."
We had lots of smiles today which was great. He got his first visit from my brother, Todd and that was great because William smiled a lot. Brian is going to figure out how to set up his iPad so he can watch movies in his bed which got us more smiles!
That's all for tonight. Keep sending me pictures and sending CareGrams! Thank you to the individual(s) who delivered food to the Sigman's last night. Marcia wanted ensure thank yous were given where thank yous are due.

That's great to hear! Glad things are looking up and Will still has his happy spirit :)
