So Derrick moved to a new room yesterday.  It went well.  He is able to wet his mouth with a sponge in water.   However today they let him dunk it in his Hawaiian fruit punch.  He said it tasted "soo good".  Yesterday he showed Alyssa and I that he stood up and walked in place.  Today he was walking to the bathroom.   He truly is a miracle and God has answered our prayers.   He still has a ways to go but strides forward any size we will take.
Tomorrow's goal is that he can walk to the door and maybe even out in the hall.  We'll see if he can do it.  He is positive and quite strong for how long he laid in a bed.  Please keep praying for strength and recovery.   Love you all.
