Brian is doing so much better these last few days. He is able to get up out of bed with the help of physical therapy and he is awake and a lot more alert than he was a last week. So I have been communicating with him by reading his lips. Some words are so easy to understand like when he mouths "I love you", but others I have to ask several times and then it is mostly a guessing game. I know that he probably gets so frustrated trying to communicate this way. He does manage to get his point across one way or another, though.
Saturday when we were up he mouthed to Ashlee that she needed to get her grades up because he was getting new lungs and he wanted to watch her graduate. We both cried a little but it was so great to have him communicating with us.
I also have set up Skype so that Brian can talk and see the girls a little more often. It is hard for them to get up there and this is a way he can see and talk to them without having to drive up quite so often.
