How Yall doin everyone? Thought Id try some back woods verbiage there. Hope everyone had a great holiday and are getting ready for the rest of the holiday season. So, Cory did OK, as I noted in my last post, we didnt get a deer. Of course two days after we left Jason took another one. I sent him a smoker so he can do the real hillbilly thing. I think the trip was a really good thing for Cory. Over the past two weeks since we got back he seems to have made some progress. His memory appears to be a little better. His comprehension appears to have improved as well. He slips back and forth but there is definitely an improvement. Now all we can hope for is that it is consistent and he continues to improve. There is no doubt this was a good experience form him and we need to do more of it. Although next time we are going to fly. That 14 hour road trip is a killer. Over the next couple of weeks were going to see if we can get him on a bike more often. Weve taken a few rides, not very long but he has been able to tolerate a mile or so. Dianna and JC got one of those indoor trainer set ups, we havent used it yet but I think it will be good for him. He doesnt use the machine I got him so maybe the trainer will work out better. You know, theres a lot going on in the life of our family. I dont get a lot of sleep sometimes. Cory is walking the house all night long. He goes to bed, we tuck him in each night, yeah, thats right, just like when he was a kid.....then a few hours alter hes up. The pain keeps him up, he has to move. Then he ends up in the recliner in the living room. I hear him, even though hes as silent as a ghost, I hear him. Sometimes he stands in the door way of our bedroom and watches us sleep, sometimes he sits in the chair beside our bed and waits for us to wake up. I know this because Im awake and at some point of another I get up and sit with him a bit. Then its back to bed but by that time, who can sleep? Thats when I think about that night when the Trooper showed up and stared banging on our door. Then the nightmare started. Its kind of leveled out now, you know, the nightmare. Its not so scary anymore because were past the critical part. But I wonder, will I ever get my son back? The Cory I had before? Or is this the Cory we have forevermore? Today he and I were sitting on I75 in traffic. There as an accident. A bad one. Another one of those damn trucks, the same kind Cory hit had run over a motorcycle. The fire rescue went by us with sirens wailing. I said look Cory, that used to be you in that fire truck. He replied, yeah Dad, but not anymore. I said you can do that again, maybe not a firefighter but a paramedic! He said, no dad, I dont think so, I dont know if I can save a life like that anymore. God, that hurt.
