A Stephen Update!!!

Stephen & David

While on our trip to Ontario we were able to visit with Stephen twice. The first time he was still at Sunnybrook hospital in Toronto. But his recovery had improved so much that they were moving him to a rehabilitation hospital in a day or two and he would now only be 20 minuets from his home.

Since Stephens accident I have seen him three times. The first time was just two days after the accident he was in very bad shape, a ventilator was helping him breath while he remained in a semi-coma state. On my second visit his eyes were open but he was still very much unaware of his surroundings and still needed to be fed by a tube.

On this visit Stephen was eating and talking... His long term memory is bang on. David and him talked about high school, old girl friends and all the trouble they both got into. His short term memory is not as good.... especially names, but this we are assured is very common with that type of brain injury. His eye sight is still giving him problems and he sees double, so to help with that he where's a patch over one of his eyes.

Within the two weeks we were there he had improved enough to go home for day visits and on our last weekend there he stayed over at his house.. We are so grateful to everyone who prayed for Stephen and his family. He still has a long road of recovery but he's getting there one step at a time.

Our kids had a day of playing with Donna and Stephens kids. Here Reegan enjoys the hammock with Isaac.
