Elias Back Home

We visited Elias today at home for the first time. The change in his activity and awareness was incredible. He already seems like the same ol’ Elias again. He was smiling, laughing, actively moving around in his chair and having a great time. Jae Min and Caleb were both over for a while and he held up quite well. Caleb had gotten Elias a Pokemon card set for a gift and they played a game together. Elias won:

Elias did start to tire after a while, but his progress was nothing short of miraculous. Jong Wan, Kelly, Jon and I all just stared in wonderment at how far he has come in such a short time.

Here is a short video of him playing Pokemon. You can get an idea of how much more active he is being already:
