Day 210 – Grayson’s Journey

Dear family and friends

Today was not a good day for Grayson. For some reason, Grayson was in the grip of the grumpies. The day started to go sour when he responded by hitting another patient in response to an inappropriate comment. The day just didn't get any better, and several other incidents of negative behavior occurred as the day continued. Finally, he went to bed at 7:30, and listened to his audio book, The Hobbit until he went to sleep a few hours later.

Why the sudden increase of aggressive behavior? We have no idea. In looking for the positive side, perhaps this is good news. In the past, if he had negative behavior, he would sit out and cool down for a few minutes, then it would be forgotten – literally forgotten, as Grayson's short term memory is just awful. Today the feelings, emotion or something did not go away. He was upset for hours. Perhaps the brain is again showing its healing side and we should rejoice, but these incidents are just a bit tough to take.

So tomorrow is another day. The sun will come up. Let us pray that Grayson will find another way to express his feelings.

Pax!
