Yeah, even though he didn't make eye contact with me and didn't smile even a little, I could tell he was glad I was there - he let me rub his back and hold his hand and so forth. And when I had to leave, he didn't want me to, but I asked if he wanted me to come back tomorrow and he said, "Yeah."
It hurts me, though, to ask him, "So, did your mom say when she was coming back?" and his answer was, "No. Just sometime next week." I wonder if she'll even call him everyday. I doubt it. She didn't even see him that often when he was hospitalized the first time, when he was 8. I know that in some cases parental visits aren't encouraged, but that wasn't the case at the time. She just didn't have the time to visit her son. He was about 45 minutes away.
But anyway...
Thanks, peg.
