He May Have Built Up a Resistance

Hajime can now open his eyes this big.
It is really amazing.  It's all because of his efforts.



His secretion is still a greenish dark brown color.
He has been taking antibiotics for a week.
Sometimes his runny nose is very heavy and green.  But it is not constantly runny.
He may have built up a resistance to the antibiotics.
I worry that he may develop pneumonia.

Nowadays, there are many people with colds.  His younger sister Yuki had a sore throat with a fever until last night.  I hope he doesn't catch her cold.
I'm not feeling right either.  I have a sore throat too.

Well, I think we will just have to be good about washing our hands, gargling, and using hand sanitizers.

I Want to See This

It is very difficult to communicate with Hajime.
But our day nurse works so hard at it with Hajime that we are humbled!

It seems that Hajime even jokes around once in a while.  It is important to be able to express your complaints or your thoughts.

I received one such message from Hajime.
He "said", "Ultraman is t..."  I asked him questions along those lines such as, "Do you want to watch Ultraman Tiga?" but I finally figured out
that he meant

Ultraman is on UTB tonight at 9...

I think he saw a commercial for the program when he was watching UTB.  They're showing Ultraman Dyna on UTB now, so he
wanted to tell us that he wanted to watch it.

I think it's a very good thing that Hajime still feels like watching something, anything.

At that moment, I thought that Hajime is still a child at heart.
