Day 97 – Grayson’s Condition

Dear family and friends

As he does every Saturday, Grayson caught the transportation to the grocery at 9:00 AM. He and his resident assistant (RA) did the shopping for the week. Today the staff complimented us on his cooperation, helpfulness and behavior at the market. After some difficulty last week, this was welcome news.

We had a very nice day with Grayson. We had sushi for lunch as we did last Sunday. Our waitress was so taken with us that she spent some time to get to know us and to know Grayson. We found out that she has an 8 year old with severe developmental issues. It was a moment for parents to share love and support.

We spent time in the rec center playing Wii today. We golfed, boxed, bowled and played tennis – all without leaving the room! We had fun together as a family. While Regina and I were playing Wii tennis, his sister did what she does best – draw. She did a sketch of a dog, and Grayson watched intently and talked to her about it.

We retired back to Grayson's apartment to watch the Olympics until it was time to go. It was a very nice day!

Pax!
