This was recorded two weeks before Tom suffered a severe head injury in a traffic accident. I've avoided posting videos of him since then, but today there's major news. For the first time since the accident on August 6th, today Tom showed signs of communication! He was able to squeeze his parents' hands on command, wave his hand on command, and nodded when asked if he wanted to be taken on a ride outside his room in his wheelchair. He also appeared to mouth the words "mom" and "yes", according to today's journal update from his brother. この動画は7月から、事故の前に。今日は、頼まれたときに、トムさんは手を動かしました。また、質問に応答してうなずきました。上達ですね。

He may indeed be starting to wake up. We'll see if today's actions are repeatable. Keep up to date via https://www.caringbridge.org/visit/to...

As always, you can download the sheet music I made for him here: http://www.keeper1st.com/music/vgm.html
