There is a lot of good news today. Todd took a long walk, has had his bandages removed, looks much better, ate some yogurt, soup, and other things he can drink through a straw. In no time at all we can expect that he will get his hands on a cup of Cumberland Farms hot cocoa!
With his jaw wired closed and while breathing through his tracheostomy tube, he has exhibited proficiency as a budding ventriloquist. After enjoying his cream of chicken soup that had been watered down to go through his straw, he said "next time put milk in it"...the first words he has said in a while - and all without moving his lips.
Seriously, it is good to hear that Todd is on the mend. He must be glad to have real food again.
There is a good chance that he will go home soon, where he hopes to catch up on his sleep - with no one stopping by every hour of the night to ask him if he is getting enough sleep.

Wow! That is great news!!!! Our thoughts and prayers are with you for a quick recovery Todd - Love Jenni and Joe Porto
I would just like to say thank you for putting up this Blog. I am Todd's cousin and have been keeping up with his recovery not only through my parents, but also through this blog.
I would also like to thank all the well wished that everyone has passed on to Todd. I know that not only he, but his entire family couldn't get through this without all of you.
