REALLY really good day today! Seriously, so far each day he's been twice as good as the day before. I attribute it to plenty of sleep, being off meds and the totally excellent company he's had the past few days.
We got out as early as we could get people rollin this morning. We stopped for 3 dozen doughnuts and a box of coffee on the way to meet Dan and his twin brother Dave (reebok circa 1992? yeah, I know) at Kirk's house. I hadn't met Dave before, but he's definitely a cool guy. Also very good to see Dan again. Been a while.
Kirk was up to greet everyone shortly after we arrived. SO much more talkative today. Not to say that he's much for talking, but definitely twice as much as yesterday. Much more participatory with visitors. And LAUGHING which was so awesome for everyone to see.
We were there for like 8 hours. It flew by. Kirk was up for the entire day. OMG, get this! So Kirk's dad gets him up to take him outside. Get some sunshine, etc. So some of us follow them out. Liz finds Kirk's old skateboard propped up against the garage wall. We discuss how she'd bust ass in the driveway if she stepped on it, etc. After a few minutes Tim asks if Kirk's about ready to go in. He say "yeah. just a second." Kirk walks straight over to the skateboard...i shit you not...and puts it down on the driveway. Then Tim and I, in our great wisdom, drag him around and down the driveway. Pretty awesome. Firstly because Kirk was having fun, but also definitely cool to see him with balance and get his body a little work out.
To say the least I got in trouble with Deborah. (not really, she was super pleased to know he was having a good time and will probably cherish the video Liz took of it 4ever)
Then we sat around and talked about nothing/everything for hours. I found out I'm better at Biff/Griff/MadDog Tannen impressions than I should be. Much to the amusement of Kirk. It was a very fun day.
Find more people for this list! PLEASE! I'm not passing out yet, so I'm gonna get on Facebook/MySpace. Most Wanted:
* Pura's current cell number
* Beavis's current email address
* Tim and Courtney from Kirk's highschool
Till tomorrow!
