Dear family and friends
Grayson had me in stitches today. First off, he was as sharp as a tack. Yesterday was an aberration rather than part of a cycle and he woke up bright eyed and alert today. What cracked me up was at dinner and we were joking about a theoretical dog and I said that he was named Fido. I asked Grayson how to spell Fido and he said, "P-h-y-d-e-a-u-x"! He said it so fast that neither Regina nor I could understand, so I asked him to repeat it. He did so more slowly and we were able to understand him. We lost it. "Phydeaux" was the dog in a story that our Boy Scout Camp Ranger Terry Hall used to tell about a Cajun family. He used to have us all in tears laughing at his stories around the campfire. This one was always one of our favorites, and Grayson clearly remembered.
What a joy tonight, and what a joy it was to relive a few of those awesome camp memories from our Scout days. For all of you that are involved in the Scouting movement, the effort you make leaves a lasting impression – even on those affected by severe brain injury. God bless you all!
Pax!

This is so completely awesome! I love this story. It just shows the depth of what is in the heart and the mind...even when it is challenged in a major way! You must have been so excited! Blessings, Steve and Mary
