Thanks to Austin Stevens, T-WOO! stickers will be available soon.

I'm ready to wake up from this awful nightmare. I have a really hard time getting up in the morning because I'm not excited about returning to reality. At all. Okay, there was my negativity for the day, now onto Trevor...

The doctor came in this morning and mentioned that they are worried because Trevor isn't progressing too much. He definitely proved them wrong over the course of the day...

For the most part Trevor has been exhausted all day, but he will have random spurts of extreme responsiveness. He was stoked to see his friends Matt Piasecki and Ben Hanisch. As soon as my mom left the room and Trevor realized it was just easy-going Walker in there, he tried with all of his might to get out of bed. Nurse button was used for the first time. Milestones!

Nurse told Trevor to open his eyes; he did. Nurse told Trevor to squeeze his hand; he did. Nurse told Trevor to lift up his leg; he lifted up his arm. Nurse told Trevor to lift up his leg again; he lifted up his arm again. Still progress...

A note to all visitors coming in to see Trevor: Talk to him. About anything. Don't talk to us like he isn't there. He knows what you are saying and he recognizes your voice. Don't say anything about his right side paralysis. Hold his hand, even if you're homophobic. Come visit; he likes it and we like it.

On the topic of visitors... Just found out that Trevor's doctor is the same one who operated on Kevin Pierce, the professional snowboarder who went through a very similar brain injury last year. Apparently Pia Pierce (his mom) wants to bring him in to come see Trevor. Pretty sure she's just using my brother to try to convince Kevin not to snowboard ever again. But, hey, if that's God's reason for Trevor's injury, then I guess so be it...
