A very uneventful day so far. We've had lot's of visitors on their way home from Waurika. Tongue River won 2nd place, and qualified for the world since the first place team has already qualified...yea!
The nurses came in to reposition him and he opened both eyes partially...still doesn't seem focused on anything. They will do an evaluation on him in the morning and decide what and how much therapy to do for him.
There is an article in the Parade section of the Times Record News today that addresses Traumatic Brain Injury and how cognitive therapy is so beneficial. Only the state of Texas mandates inurance coverage for cognitive rehab following brain injury.
We're still hanging in there and sure do appreciate all the love and support we've received.
Love,
Crystal

Beloved, I have gone before you to make crooked places straight and rough places smooth. It may not seem like it, but the fact is that it would be virtually impossible for you to navigate this spiritual terrain without My help. I am not surprised by the things that challenge you, nor am I worried that you will not come through, for I am with you to bring you to new heights. The path is narrow, and there is no other way to arrive at this level of spiritual maturity than the way you have come, says the Lord. Trust Me and keep pressing on. Isaiah 40:4 Every valley shall be exalted and every mountain and hill brought low; the crooked places shall be made straight and the rough places smooth.

We love you and continue to lift you and your sweet family up to him.

Just stopping in to let you know that you're all in my thoughts and prayers everyday.
ReplyDeleteHello Crystal
ReplyDeleteI hope you are adjusting to your new place. You are in a great place. Each day is a new beginning and only God knows what the day will bring. Everyone is still praying for you and Rick.
I saw Kade yesterday at church. I told him I could bring him to Wichita anytime and he ask if I did take him could we stop somewhere and buy a cat. Maybe I should get him to come over and empty my cat's liter box a few times and then he may decide he doesn't want a cat afterall!!!!He is a precious kid and he never forgets your name.
Take care of yourself and watch that good-looking Rick around those nurses.
Love-Angie
Here is an interesting article my sister-in-law sent to me. My mom's doctors told us the 1-year-mark is a good indicator of how far a TBI patient will go. More and more studies are proving this to be incorrect. We are a little over a month from our 1-year-mark (Aug 22) and I know my mom will bust right through it and continue to progress.
