We put Jess on the living room floor and exercised his legs and arms today. It was fun to have him down on the floor and sitting up against the couch. We also put him on the couch and put some music on so he could enjoy different surroundings, textures, sounds and sunlight from the window instead of remembering the sterile hospital bed. It is nice to have him home! Kelsey came again to visit. He looks at her with such love and blinks his eyes slowly to let her know he knows she is there. I also invited a nutritionalist, Daniella Chase, down to help me make sure I am giving him the right supplements. She is awesome and felt we were doing an excellent job with our choices. She said his skin, nails and eyes looked really good. I am giving him the Omega 3 oils for brain development, magnesium for muscle relaxation, a secret green drink for his vegies, a multivitamin, acidophilus to introduce good bacteria, 10 cans of a protein vitamin supplement that is like Ensure (3,500 calories) and 1500 cc's of optimized Pi Water (close to brain fluid). It all goes through a tube in his stomach. Another good reason to be home...I couldn't do that in the hospital. As today comes to an end, we wish everyone a peaceful good night....
