Still trucking...

So we continue on the journey of healing. Every day is a new day and we continue to grow and at the same time struggle with our new lifestyle. Brian is doing great. He comments on how he really has to concentrate shaving his face, gets really cold outdoors and has trouble remembering things. There is lots of positive things as well, he is able to take all his pills at different times of the day, this is a challenge even for my self and I am a nurse. He is able to BBQ to perfection a top sirloin steak for the family. He is also able to be home alone (mom is back to work), a month ago he would never been able to. I find him a lot calmer and funny. I told mom the movie Regarding Henry with Harrison Ford reminded me of Brian. How he was was somewhat cold and misunderstood and would yell at his kids if they spilled milk at the dinner table to a calm soul who if you spilled milk I will purposefully spill mine so you don't feel bad kind of person. We thank everyone who thought of us during our difficult situation. I realize now working at the St. Joe's in the ER, how lucky we actually are for having Brian with us. People usually don't make it after an hypoxic event like Brian's.
