Sunday, November 2nd, my sister Courtney, husband David (Drew’s brother in law) and Bella (Drew's 3 yr old niece) were in St. Louis for the weekend. My Uncle Brian and Aunt Cindy, mom, and all the siblings except for Amanda (stuck working in KC!) were all at Ranken Jordan to watch the football game with Drew. What a moment! We had a couple friends in during the day as well.
We took over a big section of the "lobby area" outside of Drew's room - he was in his wheelchair - always moving his head (stubbornly - later on - always putting it down), his left arm and legs... he still can't really communicate with us but he watched the game and let us talked to him sometimes. I saw Drew's main doctor come over and talked to mom about various things - when I asked what it was about - Mom said that this is one of his best recovery weeks so far - because he has been really moving a lot more and got his breathing tube thereby breathing completely on his own. The doctor even said – that he expects Drew to make a FULL RECOVERY one day! So this is really good news but let’s continue to pray for his health! Just a bit of an update. Hugs. Alex

Alex,
I don't want to seem too forward but I wonder if he enjoys playing videogames? It may be therapeutic for his hands-eyes coordination and maybe it'll promote even further brain stimulation as well. I'm not sure if that would be a good idea or not, so ask his doctors about that. I hope I didn't come across as an armchair doctor in this post.
God bless, Vetor family!

Alex,
Thank you so much for keeping us updated. It isn't easy to get by and see Drew and so I depend on others for the latest improvement news. We love Drew and your family and keep all of you in our prayers.
