Day 101 – Grayson’s Condition
Dear family and friends
Today Grayson had a good day. After arriving home from the clinic, he jumped on his chores. Today these chores included checking the mail and vacuuming the living room. He was quite cooperative with the staff tonight.
I had a conversation with Grayson on the phone this evening. Grayson said to me that he "wanted to come back to Earth". When I asked him what he meant, he stated that the "atmospheric pressure here is too great." This was another reminder that we still have a long way to go.
Dinner tonight was easy. Grayson had some outing money left over, so he ordered "Wednesday Dinner in". Tonight he had garlic & chicken fettuccini from California Pizza Kitchen and thoroughly enjoyed it. After dinner, since there were no dishes, he read his National Geographic's until bedtime.
Simple days, new realities and much to be thankful for.
Pax!
Brant

I look forward to news of Grayson every day, Brant. Thank you for faithfully keeping us with you.
ReplyDeleteIt took a long time for my cousin to feel comfortable with herself after her accident. She still has days where she wonders where the real her is. She said it's like a sci-fi movie where they put the brain of one person into the body of another. Only she's the person. She sees herself in the mirror but it doesn't quite feel right. Like she's got the wrong brain. Grayson may be experiencing something similar. I will say a special prayer for God to guide him through these feelings.
ReplyDeleteThese are important observations which also draws attention to the enigmatic recovery process of the brain. Thanks for sharing Grayson's activities, & may the Lord bless you Always! Amen
