DAY 180

We are creeping up on the 6 month mark. Not in my wildest dreams did I predict that brain injuries take this long to heal. Karson has been through so much and fights daily to get better. I am so impressed with his will to be whole again. He is starting to talk to the nurses now, which is wonderful. He only says one or two words and you have to ask a question and then wait for a few seconds for him to respond. If you go into see him and he doesn't do this, don't feel bad because sometimes he gets cloudy and can't do this but he is doing it more and more. We are having an appointment with his neurologist and his physical therapist doctor for new meds and possibly some more botox this thursday. We have our appointment with the U of U rehab next Wednesday so I will know more about where is going to be in the next little while by next week. I am hoping that they take Karson. He has to be able to do physical therapy for 4 to 6 hours a day. I really think that he can handle that. I know that he wants to get this show on the road. Life would be so much more difficult if our family didn't have all of you caring and being there for us. Thanks for all the love, prayers and support.
