June 2nd - Day 107 (Shunt Operation)

-

Brian's doctors determined they would like to place the shunt after all. The operation will be tomorrow (Thursday 6/3). TBD on time.

Please pray with us that this is exactly what he needs to make progress in rehab toward emerging to full consciousness. Pray for a safe, quick procedure, guide the doctor's / surgeon's hands. Let there be no complications. Let this be God's display of his perfect timing on this long road to recovery. Let it be long only to result in FULL restoration. Keep me patient & trusting in the waiting. I pray these things in Jesus' name, amen.

I am simply all out of words today. So I thought I might share today's devotional (from 'Streams in the Desert') as it spoke to my heart & soul today:

    Lauren, You have the strongest spirit. Through your writing I can tell that God is listening to your prayers and working hard to heal Brian so that he has a full recovery. I truly believe God is there every step of the way and guiding the doctors and surgeons to take the best care of Brian. I know going back to surgery is probably not what you wanted to hear, but if it is more beneficial to him in the long run then you will get through this hurdle. It sounds like you have a great support system and a heart of gold. I am praying so hard for you guys and am looking forward to the day where I read that he has recovered to the Brian you know and love!

    My name is Rhuann Grecco and I have been following you and Brian's journey . I will pray fiercely <3 Your faith has touched my soul and I can't wait for Brian's progress report. I'll be keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers. I wish I could give you the biggest hug, dry your tears or do more. For now, I will pray to our merciful God that he blanket the operating room with his healing powers and extend his mercy throughout the minds and finger tips of the surgeons and their staff xoxoxox

We have been home from Texas for about a month now. We are doing our best to continue the 4+ daily hours of therapies that we learned at NeuroSolutions 3-5x a week. Brian continues to improve and make gains. His wakefulness throughout the day is longer, he's getting physically stronger, his head control & tracking is excellent, he has new responses to commands, and stem cells will continue to regenerate for up to 6 months. Dr Crawford would like to have us back by end of year for round 2! I had the great honor of sitting and podasting with Dr Brandon Crawford while we were there. You can watch and/or listen here: WATCH: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rFF-3RYJXG0 LISTEN:   https://www.drbrandoncrawford.com/podcast/episodes/strength-in-silence-the-unspoken-journey-of-tbi-caregiving I have zero regrets about getting Brian to Austin for the treatments.

NEW FUNDRAISER INITIAVE: Brian's Journey to NeuroSolutions in Austin, TX

-
Big news! Brian has been accepted into Dr. Brandon Crawford's clinic, NeuroSolutions, in Austin, Texas. He wants Brian for a minimum of two weeks to begin treatment, so we will be making the trip down this spring (late March). We have appreciated all of the continued financial support that has helped us to make Brian's recovery as comfortable and as efficient as possible. I've used funds to purchase and renovate a beautiful, ADA / accessible home, obtain state of the art equipment to make his care easier and functional, bio-hacking devices to aid in his day-to-day healing, insurance on the handicap van, and to 'keep the lights on' since I am still unable to work or be reliable enough to obtain a job. Arguably the greatest gift of all is the opportunity to stay by Brian's side and continue to search for solutions to help him heal and emerge so we can have him back fully. Thank you *all* for making it possible. I don't think I will ever had adequate words of g...

Court Hearing // My Impact Statement

There is no sentence or judgment that can be made that will change where we are today or what we have been through. The judgment today will not bring Brian back. So - I’d like for you [Angel]  to listen to how your actions have impacted our lives. Today is a day I’ve dreaded the most because it is forcing me to look back. To grieve what once was, and to relive the most painful and scary moments of our lives. It pains me to have to do this today, without Brian whole, when deep in my heart I hoped and believed he would be the one to speak today.  Before I share how the crash has affected us, I just want to say to Brian, that caring for you and speaking for you has been my greatest honor. You are not a burden to me or to any of us who care about you. The things I'm going to share are difficult to communicate but important for the court to hear today. The things I share are to help convince the court that you receive some measure of justice for the joy stolen from you in your role...
