Byron has gone in to surgery to have his shunt looked at more throughly. As he was leaving the floor, one of the male nurses pulled me aside and said - "I just want you to know, we see a lot of teens up here. Your son is not just polite but he makes eye contact. You can have a conversation with him. It's rare. It just shows he was raised well." I was very touched by that.
Last night they put EEG leads on Byron for the thousandth time in Byron's short life. Before they started they asked - "Is this the first time for an EEG for you?" Byron and I both laughed. I showed her some of the following pictures.
The smile just growing and growing. prayers for the surgery. 🙏
ReplyDeleteByron is a diamond: brilliant, multifaceted, unbreakable: forged from the stuff of life placed under the most intense pressure, and polished with years and years and years of loving care. Every time the sandpaper-rough hand of adversity took a pass at Byron, he has just come out burnished even brighter in the end. Even when cloven clean open, each cleave just allows his true form to emerge more clearly.
