Day 364 – Grayson’s Journey


Dear family and friends

Grayson had another slow start today. On his "slow start" days he just has difficulty putting things together – walking down the stairs, using the restroom, putting on a bathrobe – all tasks that he can easily do later in the day that he cannot complete in the morning.

Grayson and I went for a walk today. We go about 30 minutes – half up the hill, half down. Usually I have great difficulty getting him to move with any speed. Today he did pretty well going uphill, and he was right with me going down. That is a first!

We played Wii after we returned from our walk. We tried almost every game in there, and it was tough to keep him engaged. Finally Regina stumbled across something that he would work for more than just a few minutes.

Pax!

    I had a dream of you and Grayson out walking. You wanted him to go a bit faster so you began to sing "Over the river and through the woods" at an appropriate pace and he kept time with his steps. What a strange dream, and then to have you post about a walk the next morning was strange, too.

    This is also my experience on the Neurological Highway. Every day is different. Very different. We seek meaning in those small changes, but what meaning may be there isn't there for us to find. But the differences, we notice. Immediately.

    One wonders whether the days not on the Neurological Highway were equally as full of tiny difference from one another; but absent our neurological road, we just didn't see them.

    Don't know if that's what we'd think of as a "blessing," at least, from our pre-neurological life's perspective... but oh, the good days, when they're good, they're so wonderfully good, aren't they?
