Remy Officially Not in a Coma

Hi there, the doctors cleared up a misconception that we had, well mostly me, Remy is technically not in a coma.  I guess it should have been obvious to me that because Remy can communicate by using hand gestures and sounds it shows that he can understand what is going on that he's not in a coma.  I thought that since he can't talk or walk  or do a lot of things that we take for granted that he was still in a coma.

Here's Remy and I doing the "OK" sign on Thanksgiving weekend.

Remy is an awesome son and we marvel everyday on the progress that he is making.  Once again, thank-you to the steady stream of friends that visit him.  Everyone that visits Remy is contributing to his well being and his recovery.  He knows who all you are and he is grateful that you still come out and show that you care.  Care and Love are two of the best things that friends bring to him and help with his recovery.  As long as you come by and pay Remy a visit even if only for a half hour it will help Remy with his recovery.   He will feel the power that you bring and you will brighten up his spirit and his will to get better and get out of that bed.  I didn't know that Remy had so many friends, but what I do know is that you're all special to Remy and both I and his mom Kerry thank you so much for coming out to spend time with Remy.  When you do visit, don't be shy, if you want a hug from Remy all you have to do is ask, he can hear every word you say and he can understand everything, he likes jokes too so bring all your funny stories to tell him, it's all good for him.

Here's Remy and some of the girls that came by for a visit.  Remy is so lucky to have friends like you all.

It was a good Thanksgiving weekend for sure.  Remy likes to have his feet massaged and his legs stretched, so if you come by for a visit don't be shy.  Remy has a bit of the restless leg going on so all the foot rubs and leg stretches help him out immensely.

I got Remy a new fishing hat, here's a pic of the two of us wearing them.  There's also a picture of Remy with the girls wearing the army hats, so if you're reading this please send us a copy and or post it on this blog ok.

In closing, I'd like to end with a funny little spin similar to the most interesting man in the world commercials:

Even though they let him have flowers he chooses not to out of respect for other patients, ..... Remy Michel is the coolest man in the hospital.
