Today was another day of noticeable improvement. Calum is now taking milk through the tube in his nose which feeds directly into his stomach. Since starting the milk he has quickly progressed to a much larger amount.
Initially when he opened his eyes he tended to roll them, but that is now greatly decreased. Also the spasmodic movements which he had seem to have decreased so much that by the time we left today I could only describe them as being non-existent. I have also been told by those caring for him that he was beginning to suck the doctor's finger.
He is still dopey due to the drugs he was on taking some time to clear out of his system.
Here is today's clip.

    He is gorgeous. May he keep on making progress as he is doing. He is doing so well. A real little fighter!!
    I hope that dad is hanging in there too. Life must be so hard for you just now. So take care of yourself too.
