Update on time in Hospital

 Well, here we are, two weeks in to Enoch's hospital stay, and we probably will go home in another week. Enoch has gotten a lot better with communicating and doesn't have as much brain fog. 

Right now he is watching Star Trek with Guinevere (14), putting together a Lego set (this is huge! This is the most he has done with legos since last October), and talking to her about the episode. Often it is almost like he sounds back to normal, with almost no moaning and actual conversing. But he will also shut down when things get hard for him, and he isn't walking or writing at all, which are two huge things we are still working on. 

I hope to see a lot more progression in the next week, but we will see. It has felt like a weird limbo having him up here. I have come to Salt Lake every day for the last 14 days, driving for all but two of those days. Avram's mom has come to help us, and it has been a huge help for our family to have her here. It has still felt like such a crazy time - I feel like everything in life is on hold. For one thing, we don't really know how functional Enoch will be when he comes home - and the bulk of his days are spent with me, so how much help he needs translates to how much time and effort I need to spend helping him. Avram has fronted the weekends and many evenings, which I am grateful for because it does give me a break. I am hoping he will be able to do a lot more things for himself which will give me back a lot of time in the day.
