Update #24

A very good day.

While Nick is still in a coma, he is breathing on his own! Yes, that’s a couple days earlier than expected.

They can see that he’s trying to swallow now.

The physical and occupational therapists came in today and they’re very pleased with Nick’s progress. They confirmed that he can move his right shoulder pretty well, kinda like a shrug.

A very good day, indeed.
