Day 212 – Grayson’s Journey

Dear family and friends

I wish that I had good behavior to report today. In fact I do have some – Grayson was quite pleasant when 1-on-1 with his residential assistant (RA) today. They had a nice walk in the park. They checked the mail on the way back to the apartment and Grayson noticed an article in the newspaper in the news stand next to the mail boxes. The article was about local Cub Scouting. He was staring and reading the article so his RA suggested that they buy the paper. Grayson agreed. They went upstairs to the office to check out some of Grayson's money and purchased the paper.

Grayson helped with dinner and then went to the rec center for karaoke night. He was doing fine for a while, until he hit another patient. When the RAs moved in to keep the peace, he struck one of them. He was separated from the group and walked back to his apartment. There he calmed down, and enjoyed reading the newspaper he had purchased earlier. He went to bed around 7:30 and stayed there until he went to sleep.

This is where we are this week. Regina and I hope that this difficult period is a sign of improved neurological signals and growth. It sure doesn't feel like it. I pray that it is improvement and that we get through this phase quickly.

Pax!
