Oct 19 8:23 p.m.

Wow! Levi spoke today! David asked him where he worked and he answered, ''Cookietree''. The doctor asked if he knew where he was and he answered,''I don't know where I am''. He still mumbles quite a bit and we don't understand most of what he says. The nurse asked him if he was in pain and he started mumbling something we couldn't understand, but in the middle of it he said,''this foot here'', wiggling his right foot. How great is that, that he would speak and connect movement to thought on his own without command.

We are so excited. Thank you so much for all your prayers! Keep up the good work we still have a ways to go.

It is now just past 10:30. It has taken awhile to write this because we keep getting up to talk to Levi and David is trying to figure out what I'm saying so he can type it and we are both pretty tired.

Looks like it's time for cocoa and sleep.
More in the morning.
