First Week at Heritage
Brian has been at Heritage for about a week and a half now and he really seems to like it. I visited with him on Saturday and Jessica had a long visit with him on Sunday. He really looks very relaxed and comfortable there. And the nurses are really in love with him. They are treating him like a superstar!!
Jessica had a good visit with him and he even winked at her a few times! We are hoping that means that he's liking his new room. His roommates are very nice and are watching out for him.
He does have a touch of pneumonia but they are treating him with antibiotics and the fever he's been running has been going down each day.
I'm sure everyone is relieved to hear that he has made the move and it has been a great success!
Of course we are still praying that Brian will become more and more responsive. They are going to start getting him up in his chair this week and hopefully that will make him feel better and give him a feeling of accomplishment. He has been laying in the bed for over 6 months now so even this tiny step forward should help his attitude. Before this move he had been looking a little depressed.
Olivia is also going to visit this weekend. This will be her first time seeing Brian since the accident. There are several reasons why Jessica kept her from the hospital -- One, Brian's health was always the most important thing. Little kids carry germs that could have tremendous consequences for him. So the doctors never really liked the idea of exposing Brian to those germs. And plus it was a very traumatic place for a kid -- especially when it's your dad.
Now when she sees him, he'll be dressed and sitting up and looking more like himself. Jessica just feels that it is time and Livi could not be more excited. She misses her daddy.
Livi has also been going to a child psychologist that has been helping her prepare for the visit and helping Jessica to know when is the right time. And the psychologist and the doctor think it's a good time. So we're going!
Please keep Jessica and Olivia very close to your hearts and in your prayers this week. Please pray that Livi will have a good visit with Brian and that everything will go smoothly.
This has been a very weird week for Jessica -- it's sad not having Brian close by. But we know that he is being very well cared for and that is the most important thing right now.
Thanks so much for your prayers.

Yeah! I hope that Olivia's visit is great! I'm SO glad that she is going to see Brian. You are all still in my prayers!
Have a great rest of the week and a wonderful weekend!
Love,

We will definitely be praying for a great visit between Olivia and Brian! If Brian is aware of anything, this should lift his spirits tremendously to see that precious little girl of his!!! My visit last week made me feel so good about the care Brian is getting now. This may be a nursing home - but the people there really love Brian! And I think they are enjoying having him.
Let's all keep praying for that miracle!!!
Love, Bonnie
