Day 28 – Grayson’s Condition

Dear family and friends

Today was a good day.

Grayson was moved from the Pulmonary Unit to the Neurology Telemetry Unit. He will probably only be here two nights or so before moving to a Long Term Acute Care facility. He had several tests run today and was sedated for most of them, so it was a relatively quiet day.

While I was at church participating in our Christmas concert this evening, Grayson had a period of some clarity with Regina tonight. He gave her several smiles and was able to track her in the room. These are encouraging signs, not that he will recover fully, but that he may have the capacity to learn some things to enhance his quality of life. And smiles are really good, especially for Moms and Dads.

It was wonderful seeing so many of you at the Christmas concert tonight. Thanks for the million hugs (I never exaggerate!) I brought them back to the hospital to share with Regina. This is a long road, but with God's help, and all of your love and support, it will be made easier.

Pax!

Brant and Regina

  1. Hi Brant:

    I'll bet the concert and the "love" were very good and very welcome. I'm glad so many were able to put their arms around you and give you a good squeeze! What an honor to do that. And the grins and tracking are encouraging, and are like "hugs" from Grayson.

    Our "hugs" are from afar, but they are real never the less, and we are squeezing, squeezing!

    In Him,

    Doug and Kemi
