Dear family and friends
Today was Grayson's first full day in his new room. Regina spoke with him today. He told her that he likes his new roommate, and he also said that he liked the new room. He described what he was wearing, and that he was taking a break and watching TV for a bit.
One of the things we had brought Grayson in the hospital, and now sits by his bedside, is a digital picture frame. The frame displays a new picture every 30 seconds. The pictures that we have loaded are of Grayson with various family members. He never turns it off. Today he plugged it in after the move yesterday, and it is again by his bedside.
Grayson was very difficult to understand tonight. Regina had to have him repeat things several times to understand what he was saying. This is just one more sign of just how long a road we are on, with very, very slow improvement over time. But we do see improvement from week to week. We still hope and pray that we will see more of the "old" Grayson again.
Pax!
Brant
UP and down and UP and down.... the UPs will win over the downs. A long road going in the right direction...
ReplyDeleteHi Brant and Regina:
ReplyDeleteWe are back from Wichita...the damp NW has it hands-down over Kansas!
Grayson has been on our heart, and we pray for his continued growth...we try to track trends and tack our expectations from those trends, and that works in a way in "regular" life, but there is nothing "regular" about this adventure, and we rest in His arms as He takes us where we have never been before, to an outcome that is in His providence, and we can rest in that assurance.
In Him,
Doug
