Day 3 - Grayson's Condition

Dear family and friends

Status of Grayson as of 9:00 PM on Wednesday:

Today Grayson's condition showed signs of improvement. During the day he awakened several times for perhaps 5 minutes at a time. During those periods he was able to track us with his eyes, turn his head to find voices, and look slowly around the room. The highlight for us today was when he smiled at us briefly at first, then several times later in the day. Assuming that he recognized us, and was not just laughing at funny looking people, gives us great hope that Grayson is still in there. His brother was here this evening to see one of these moments.

Grayson does not appear able to control his arms or legs, but perhaps that will come with time – it is still early. "Wait and see" is the buzz-phrase here. If the next days are as successful as today, he will be on a path to some kind of recovery. At this point, we are measuring success in very small increments.

Thank you to those of you that are getting the word out. As I said yesterday, the love and prayers we receive from all of you are keeping us going. We will continue to keep you informed as things unfold.

God's peace!
