Dear family and friends
Today was a long day.
We passed another milestone. As of 11:30 this morning, we are now into our fourth week of our journey. We have been in the ICU ever since we left the emergency room. That is about to change as we are about to move out of the unit. Grayson is off all of his sedatives. The breathing tube is out, and he is only using the vent at night to give his breathing muscles a bit of time to recover from the tube.
We will miss the ICU. The care here has been exceptional and loving. I know that many of the staff saw something in Grayson that reminded them of a son. Others saw him as a peer of their own age. Whatever the reason, they all became our friends and took wonderful care of him – and us!
It was great to see everyone in the choir tonight. I brought a bag full of hugs back to share with Regina. Thanks for allowing me to miss so much rehearsal time, and still sing in the concert!
We don't yet know God's plan for us, but we do know that there is a plan! We are human – we get discouraged and disappointed. But we take solace in knowing that He is with us every step of the way, and that your prayers lift us up daily.
Pax!
Brant and Regina
It was a blessing to me to give you a hug to share with Regina and to hear your beautiful baritone solos.
