Bill still doesn't have much control of his left side, but look at all the stuff he discovered he could do with his right hand today:
1. Take the toothbrush (really a spongey thing), get it to his mouth, and scrub all around.
2. Put his glasses on
3. Take the washcloth and rub it around whatever is itchy on his face.
He can also lift his hand up for a high-five, or lift his fist for a fist bump. He doesn't quite move it in to meet our hand, so the depth perception isn't quite back yet.
"Hey," we can imagine him saying, as he rubs his chin and neck, "What happened to my beard?"
UPDATE
Ayn caught me up on another detail: she has been giving him gentle hugs all along. This evening she asked if he could hug her back, and he slid his right arm around her. She told him she loved him, and he mouthed, "I love you."
