Day 158 – Grayson’s Journey

Dear family and friends

Today is Thursday, and this is week three of the outdoor movie at the Bright House Networks Amphitheater. Unfortunately, tonight it rained, so the movie was cancelled. Fortunately, the ever adept staff at the residence brought in a movie and the residents watched it in the rec center. All was not lost – it was still movie night!

Because of the length of the movie, Grayson had little time to spend on chores, after he finished dinner preparation and his therapeutic home program (THP). He did do some vacuuming, but that was it tonight!

Our nightly phone call with Grayson included a long series of single word responses – "Did you have a good day? Yes." "Did you go to the amphitheater? No." "Would you like to see us this weekend? Yes." "What are you doing now? Nothing." We couldn't get very much information out of him today, and even the information we did get was suspect, due to his short term memory deficits. The call ended with Lauren and him chatting for a short time and exchanging "I love you's".

It is almost the weekend, and we will get to spend some time with Grayson to see how he is doing. It looks as if several friends will be coming by to visit on Saturday, so Grayson should have a good time.

Pax!
