How cool is that?

The big news over here: Ramsy moved his right arm tonight!!  The first time he did it without realizing it and wondered how his hand got from here to there.  He tried it lots more times and could move it over sideways about 4 inches.  It doesn't always work, but lots of times it does.  Wow.

This is very encouraging after the seizure episode on the weekend.  I talked to the nurse today and she told me to increase his anti-seizure medication and bring him back to check the level again next week.

In other news: every so often Ramsy will contemplate growing a beard, and I protest (sorry, beard-wearers) and he usually decides not to grow one.  However, when it came up again last week, I said, "Go for it," or some such thing.  The next day we found out that Central Plains Cancer Care in Portage is having a beard-growing contest over the next two months as a fundraiser!  So Ramsy's beard is working to generate funds for cancer research, support services, and prevention education.  If you'd like to contribute (or just cheer on his whiskers) give us a call or email us!
