Not a whole lot of anything exciting to report today. It is Sunday, so no classes and only one activity.

Mary was sick so she stayed home while Paul went to be with Josh in the morning. When Paul got to the hospital, Josh asked him, "Where did you park?" Josh also asked, "Where's Grandma?" We guess he really misses his grandma!

Of course there was air hockey. Lots of air hockey.

The one exciting thing we did was break the rules. We snuck Josh off campus in our car and drove to McDonalds for lunch. We don't have car privileges yet so this was verboten. But we figured it wasn't a big deal since we didn't even get out of the car. Josh seemed to enjoy it.

Josh's BA for most of the afternoon and the evening was Haley, who is Josh's (and our) favorite. She just seems to really enjoy hanging with Josh and Josh seems to enjoy it too. Haley first took Josh to T-Rec for inflatable archery. Instead of wasting 1,000 words explaining it, here is a picture:


It's like an inflatable bounce house with cones inside. The air goes through the cones and pushes balls into the air. The goal is to shoot the floating balls with a bow and arrow. Josh took a long time to aim, and had a hard time releasing the string. We heard he shot somebody accidentally and everyone laughed, but we weren't there for that.

Haley brought him back for dinner then the four of us went to the PT gym where Mary and Josh did some homework leg-strengthening exercises. Then Haley and Josh played basketball for nearly an hour. Of that hour, Josh spent 20 minutes aiming for one shot. We then got Josh back into bed, he took his various medications, and he was ready to go to sleep.

    Thanks for the update, Paul. We are lucky that you've arranged your time so well that you can give Mary a break when she needs it. She couldn't have managed, as she has done, without you. You are wonderful.

      Yes! Uncle Paul is the bomb dot com! (Is that a thing old people say now?)
      Love you all. XOXO

February 19, 2018 The good news is that the young man continues to make progress. With the consent of his doctor, we started to reduce the amount of Keppra (antiseizure medice) Josh takes, and we've noticed that it makes a difference in his "alertness" and "connectedness." Shortly after the accident, Josh's doctors put him on mega doses of two antiseizure medication. Seizures are a significant concern for TBI victims and Josh had many during his first week (petit mal, not grand mal). The medications seem to have done the trick, but the new doctors we visited when we got back to Portland in October were quite surprised at the size of the doses he was taking every day. At Mary's suggestion, they agreed to slowly reduce the amount of Keppra he takes. We've been watching closely to see if there have been any negative consequences, i.e., seizures, but we haven't noticed anything at all and so the weaning process continues. With less of this medicati...

November 19, 2017 Dear Family & Friends: It has been more than a month since we last posted anything here about Josh. Our original intent after returning to Portland at the beginning of October was to cut back on the number of posts but to continue to post periodically. But Josh's recovery is much different now than when we first returned. He doesn't have the big, dramatic stories from day to day. Instead, his progress is more subtle and routine. After 3 weeks felt like there wasn't enough material to keep the blog going. But a number of you have asked about the blog just in the past week, so we will try to be more diligent in posting to give those of you who aren't here in Portland more of an idea about how things are going. Feel free to contact us at any time if you want more information. We appreciate your love and concern. Thanksgiving will be 5 months since the accident, 4 months since Josh transferred from OHSU to Craig Hospital in Denver, and 6 weeks si...

Josh's Accident and Situation

Our 24-year old son Josh was in a very serious motorcycle accident  on Friday  afternoon, June 23, 2017.  He was riding a motorcycle with some friends at a remote campground near Tillamook, OR and lost control and drove into a 50-foot ravine.  (He was wearing a helmet but apparently it was not fastened around his chin so it fell off before it could do much to help.)  His friend was driving in front of him and didn't know he was gone for some time, then turned around to find him at the bottom of the ravine.  Due to the remoteness of the location, it took about 45 minutes to get an emergency vehicle on site.  His injuries were very severe, including head trauma, a collapsed lung and broken bones.  Josh was flown by Life Flight helicopter to OHSU in Portland.  Mary and I got to the hospital at around  7:00 pm  and got to see Josh briefly before he was rushed into emergency surgery.  He was unconscious and in very bad shape, nearl...
