Dear family and friends,
Today the plumber came to the house and did a thorough inspection all of the drain and supply lines in the master bath. He had a better than average opportunity since they removed most of the walls and flooring in the room. When they did he discovered not one but several cracked pipes – obviously the cause of the leaks flowing into the family room below.
It reminds me of Grayson's situation. Every day we are dealing with leaks in his abilities. His short term memory is so porous that he is able to hold what he just heard or experienced for less than a minute. That makes it hard for him to build new patterns, to weigh choices or understand consequences.
With our home, we have the ability to remove the walls and floors, see the damage, replace the damaged old pipes with new, solid pipes and restore functioning to as good as or better than before.
With Grayson, we can't see into his brain or nerves. We can't see or repair the damaged, oxygen starved cells. We search blindly for conduits that might still be open and hold on to the threads of functionality.
As our dear cousin, Robin recently said, "We don't know what the future holds, but we know who holds our future and we are seeking to trust Him."
In peace and hope,
Regina
