Thought I'd get this post done while Conor is napping. He goes for a sleep everyday about 1:00 ... the real healing gets done while he's sleeping.
This morning, he had his first appointment with the speech pathologist. She was thrilled that Conor was doing so well ... and was quite confident that with the help of a few tools and strategies ... he'll make a complete recovery. Music to my ears. Friday, he has an appointment with the ortho at the hospital ... and noon appointment for physiotherapy. There'll be a steady stream of professionals over the coming weeks (although they all seem to want the week between Christmas and New Year's off ... go figure) and Conor seems to welcome them all.
The scars are all healing rather well ... they are a sight to see ... as some of you know. He is eating well and often ... and seems to be thriving. If I had been thinking, I would have weighed him when he got home (just to monitor his progress in that department). He's been on the computer, catching up with his emails and has even begun to read this blog. He is a little overwhelmed by the scope of people involved in his recovery ... and comments daily on how truly lucky he is (understatement of the century!).
The insurance adjuster dropped by earlier today with a few photos of the car (taken at the lot), and Conor was duly impressed. The adjuster said, as so many others, that in all his years --- he had never seen anyone "walk away" from an accident of this magnitude. Seems to be a theme ...
That's all my friends for this post ... perhaps I'll post again Friday evening after we've been back to the hospital. Good thoughts and prayers always welcome ... the next big step will be weight bearing on the bionic leg ... the sooner the better! Bless you all ....

Hallo Rosemary,Ciaran & Conor,
I managed to get one message on here but since then nothing would publish so I gave up in the end. But have read every single word written.
Conor is so lucky to have survived such an horrific accident and is very fortunate in having such a woderful mother. I've been hanging onto your every word daily.
Our thoughts and prayers are always with the three of you.
God Bless.
With love from Aunt Con & Uncle Bill XXX Hope this gets there!!!!
Great news! I am so impressed. A little birdie told me that a couple of out of town cousins (one of them is my boy) are coming for a short but sweet visit this weekend. I look forward to hearing all about it. Keep up the good work Conor. I'm sure Ciaran is keeping you in line. And Rose, you are amazing as always. I love this blog!!!
Love you all,
Auntie Diane
