His hearing is doing well. He can hear sound in his left ear, but the loud noises are still troubling him. His face is day by day improving and it has been a real joy to see the side of his mouth slowly begin to crease upward with his smile.
His headaches still come and go and he has a couple of sensitive spots on his scalp around the trauma area. He really gets exhausted if he tries to do too much during the day.
It is great to see Brandon up and around and getting his feet under him. We can only imagine what it must be like to be a 21 year old and quarantined on house arrest in your parents home! I guess there are definitely worse places to be stuck....
We are talking with Washington State University to work out a good solution for Brandon's studies. Brandon has been told by his doctors not to rush back to school, and we agree with that. He will try to do some schoolwork here at home, but cannot be in class. His professors have been very encouraging so far.
Brandon is ready to start accepting some visitors, and we think that having people come by to visit him might be a good boost to his morale. If you'd like to visit, please call and make arrangements. And comb your hair, we might try to take your picture for the next blog update!
We'll try to keep the blog going. Eric is back to work full time now and Angela is doing double duty on the home front with Brandon here and multiple doctors appointments. Unfortunately, life does not pause to let you play catch up. Everyone has been so gracious to offer help and meals. You have been a God-send! We really don't know how people deal with something like this without a community for support.
Please continue to pray. Brandon is healing miraculously!
God Bless,
~the Family
