Escape Attempt #1

Sunday, Noonish- So, Dad and I took Marc for a walk today. I thought that someone was coming with us but they left us "unsupervised". We got out to the hallway and Dad was showing Marc the mountains and trees outside. Marc forcefully pointed out the window. We asked him if he wanted to go outside and he nodded YES! So, we walked to the elevators and got on. Five floors later, we were wheeling out the door. It seemed to make Marc happy to be outside in the fresh air. We sat in the shade for a while. About 25 minutes passed and out came the LNA looking for us. Apparently we weren't suppose to leave the 5th floor, let alone, the entire building. Oh well, it was good for Marc to get out for a while. He seemed to get really tired, so we brought him back up to his room and got him into bed. We kept waiting for someone to put him back in bed, but everyone was too busy. So, I did it myself. The nurse saw and said that Marc and I make a good team. He looked right into my eyes and shook his head yes. After an hour of being up in the wheelchair, Marc was definitely ready for a nap.

we are so pleased to hear of Marc's progress. How wonderful that he has such a supportive family around him. That is a huge part of healing from a traumatic brain injury. Your family has always been pretty incredible. We'll keep tabs on what he is doing, and keep hoping and praying for the little miracles each day.
