He is eating some by mouth again which is great and is drinking some apple juice and milk as well. Over all it seems he is doing much better each day and hopefully by the end of the week we can start getting up and playing again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jayce has some minor brain damage from the bypass in the left side of his brain and also has a subdermal hematoma. These things are minor set backs and he should be able to get better with therapy. As of right now he cannot move his left hand. He cannot extend his fingers or make a fist.
