Update
Connar MIGHT be coming home on monday!!!! He can drink water out of a normal bottle, no straw! He actually has sensation in his right arm, down to just above his elbow!!!! That's further down his arm than he's had this while time! It was literally just about his shoulder before. Such a big improvement, and gives so much hope for his future recovery with that arm. I'm so proud of how far he's come in just a little over a week. Keep in mind, his right arm is the arm that was practically torn off and needed his blood vessel/vein rerouted to his corroded artery and has significant nerve damage. Again, such strides towards recovery!
