It’s been a crazy week that has again felt like months. After a few days in the rehab unit, Bryan was transferred to the trauma rehab unit because of a fever caused by possible infections. His physical therapist was still able to come in and work with him. Bryan responded well and was exhausted by the end of each day. While in the rehab trauma unit, his team started to lower the third anti-seizure medication Dilantin. His EEG report showed no seizures and his fever was gone, so he was able to go back to the rehab unit last night. We are hoping that by lowering the Dilantin it will help his confusion and his slow to no responses.
It’s been a very humbling and emotional experience for us to see how dependent Bryan is, while also learning to help take care of him and participate in his rehabilitation. He continues to prove how strong and determined he is to get through this, and that is amazing!
Tyler and Tabitha got to experience taking their dad to a patio outside in the sun. They were beyond happy and to hear them talk about it with the excitement in their voices was truly heartwarming.
For a 3rd update in a row, our song is from Queensryche. We find it ironic that since their visit with Bryan, their songs have been the perfect fit to each update. We couldn’t find a video showing the lyrics, so we have included both because some of the words are so powerful and fitting.
I want to be a busy man
I want to see a change in the future
I'm gonna make the best of what I have
I want to write for a magazine
I'm gonna be the best they've ever seen
I know I'll win if I give it all I can
And I won't let go, gotta make the grade
No, I won't let it go
To be the best man, the best man that I can
Back street hoop star you've got it good
You were the wonder of the crumbling neighborhood
Now taking bids on the next six digit plan
Showed me that my will survived
when tragedy that came into my life
giving me hope and the new start
that I have
And I won't let go, gotta make the grade
No, I won't let it go
To be the best man, the best man that I can
Step by step I dream the plan
From my chair to walking man
This constant dream is on my mind
Chase the light I see ahead
Luminate the path I tread
I live to be the best I can
Now I'm moving forward
And I'm never looking back
Straight ahead, focused on the big attack
On a roll and I'm never slowing down
I won't be torn between
The man in the chair
And the man that's in my dream
I'm going to melt the two men into one
And I won't let go, gotta make the grade I set
No, I won't let it go
To be the best man, the best man that I can
The best man that I can
The best man that I can
