This week was a little better than last week. I know I will not ever be able to understand what he is going through.
A therapist told us, Steven was not awake for the first 11 days and his brain really was not awake for quite a while after that. During that time period he has no recollection of what happened.
We were there for the coma, ICU, therapy, etc. He wasn't. So now, he is a 26 year old man who used to make his own decisions, and now he has to listen to his parents and others. He wasn't liking that so much, however it's necessary because there were times that he was not making safe decisions. It is getting better but he definitely still needs much guidance.
Tomorrow will be Steven's 26th birthday. I cannot tell you how lucky we feel that he is still here to celebrate this day with us.
I decided to print the blog for Steven and give it to him as a birthday gift. I hope he truly comprehends how many people prayed for him. Prayed for our family. Cried for him.
I don't think anyone will ever understand how truly grateful we are for all of those prayers.
This is going to be my last post. I have faith that Steven will make it and will be better than ever.
This post is will remain up for a long time. If anyone cannot get a hold of me through Facebook or email, leave a message here and I will respond as soon as I can.
Thank you everyone! We love you all <3

Dear Barb,
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts and prayers continue for Steven and your family - you are not out of sight, out of mind.
I understand that the need for posting is over, but I for one would very much like to know Steven reaction to the reading of "his" blog.
Does it help him understand what he has gone through?
Ellie
