Despite the fact that Sunday saw the Colts lose another game (Conor would not discuss it!), Sunday saw Conor take another big step. He was able, with the help of the lovely Erica and a "commode chair" go potty in the toilet! He wasn't sure at first ... and it was exhausting ... but way to go "B"!
Jill Behn and I arrived at the hospital about 1:00. Conor was cranky and starving. Down to the caf we go for a huge container of poutine and a can of coke. He did very well --- with belches to prove it. Back up to the room, into bed and hunkered down for some football. I think he slept (Tommy dropped by an he was sawing logs) but was wide-eyed about 3:30 for the arrival of his friends.
Ciaran and I arrived about 4:30 -- shawarma and garlic potatoes in hand. He ate very well and had a coffee. He is still complaining about his vision and has a very hard time focussing in on things. He has trouble feeding himself -- not just because he has to use his left hand -- but also because he cannot see what he needs to stab. I will, of course, keep you posted on any developments in this area.
I have a meeting this morning with the insurance company's Occupational Therapist. She will be visiting the house to make sure it is safe for Conor's return home (doesn't that sound marvelous!). I have another meeting on Tuesday with the hospital's OT, Social Worker and Trauma Liaison person. I would hope this is to establish goals in Conor's recovery and an update on Conor's health.
Other than that folks ... another day of gathering strength for the fight ahead. He will need it all ... more later

Dearest Rose, it is funny how you added those little humour here and there and it definately got me giggling at the beginning. And not to mention, my mind was picturing that... Ew, I know but oh well lol. Oops.
Just so you know, I'll be going off to Singapore for my little job as an au pair for a week or so. Don't know if I'll be able to even catch up with this by the time I get back but I'll definately will try to get internet access there if possible.
And yes, you're keeping my updated all these while although I'm thousands of miles away. <3
Sounds like Santa may come through with Conor's wish.....I sure hope so....this is wonderful...Love you all.
