Dear family and friends
Today was another quiet day.
Grayson is on a very low dose of his sedative, and he is just barely under. He still has the breathing tube in, so some level of sedative is required to keep him comfortable. He still is resting under the cold-fluid blanket to keep his temperature in the low-normal range. His convulsive episodes seem to have reduced in intensity and frequency with his latest set of meds, but they lurk just under the surface, so we are still on edge. Rest was again the order of the day for Grayson.
Grayson's condition continues to stabilize, and that is great. As soon as we can get him off the vent, we can start to look to the next steps in his recovery.
I could say that Grayson's improvement might have something to do with the outcome of the USC-UCLA game, but I would hate to say that his Alma Mater beat up on his lifelong medical facility. Let's just say that both schools are in Grayson's corner! We have much praise to heap on both of these great institutions.
We have had so many special wishes just this weekend that are hearts are just overflowing. This is a long road we are on, and the path is not yet clear. Your continued support and encouragement is the physical expression of God's spiritual love for us while we are on that journey. Thank you for your prayers and the strength you give us.
Pax!
Brant and Regina

Dear Brant, Regina, Austin and Lauren,
ReplyDeleteI agree; even though I root against UCLA, they helped me get through two brain surgeries about eight years ago. They are a great institution!
I appreciate you guys updating the blog often. I can't even begin to imagine how difficult these times can be, but your positive attitude, even through the darkest of times, is an inspiration to me and is a testament of your love for Grayson.
Keep fighting guys! Never give up!
Hoping for the best,
