Last week I had an amazing visit with Ilan as we had a 1-2 minute conversation!! I told him something to which he was very attentive and then he mumbled some noises back to me; this went on about 6 times.
Today my Dad and I went to visit Ilan. Prior to leaving we asked Mum to check with Ilan if he would like us to bring our dog Nahla - Mum said he gave a strong yes answer with his eyes.
Both Nahla and Ilan were very happy to see each other as they have met only once during the past 9 months. As soon as Nahla saw Ilan she climbed onto Ilan's chair and licked his arms and face many times which Ilan thoroughly enjoyed. Later we gave Ilan the leash to hold and we took a walk around the facility. During the walk it was very apparent that Ilan held the leash tightly.
Later Dad practiced with Ilan opening his mouth and moving his tongue - Ilan listened and responded to my Dad's cue every time.
As you all know, Ilan is expected to come home end-July. Work has begun just today on the bathroom remodel to meet Ilan's needs and we hope it will be complete within the next 3 weeks.
