Dear family and friends
I spoke with Grayson this evening. We had a nice chat as we do almost every evening. Unfortunately his short term memory doesn't do much for conversation! What are you doing? "Nothing." What did you have for dinner? "I haven't eaten". (Not true – he just forgot.) Did you have music therapy this evening? "No." (He did.) Did you go to the clinic today? "Yes." What did you do there today? "Not much." When will we see you again? "Tomorrow?" What day is today? "Monday." When do we usually visit? "Saturday and Sunday." That's right! We'll see you on Saturday! "Cool."
I consider it good news that Grayson is aware of the day of the week, and when we usually visit. I continue to be saddened about his other short term memory deficits. While it is improving, the process is so, so slow.
Grayson's residential assistant (RA) went home early this evening, so I missed the opportunity to get the normal back stories that are not generally recorded in his notes for the evening. So you get a gift of a short posting this evening (or morning depending on when you read this!)
Pax!

Hi Brant and Regina: I love all your posts--newsy or not, they reflect life in its reality, and that is important.
ReplyDeleteSay, I was at Kevin Klett's Eagle Scout Court of Honor last night--it was a great event. Robin commented on how nice it is to see Grayson's Eagle Scout Portait each morning as we visit your blog. Those Eagle Scouts are a gift to our Country.
In Him,
Doug
