It is hard to believe that Tyler has been home for 2 weeks. Now the work is beginning. Tyler remains extremely tired. His brain is working so hard to heal that he gets very tired very soon after any activity. He is going to therapy 2 to 3 times a week for several hours each time. Although Tyler doesn't want to go to therapy, he is pretty good about accepting the fact that if he wants to get back to work and to drive he needs to attend. We are very proud of him!
Tyler's recovery has been remarkable but with any brain injury, it just takes time. The doctors and therapists have warned us that it will take from 1 to 2 years for him to recover. We are definately seeing that now with Tyler being so tired and almost confused at times. It really is a frustrating time for all of us.
I really believe that Ty is starting to understand the seriousness of his injury. I can't quite fathom what it would be like to be 20 and seemingly invincible to understanding that you need to slow down in life.
Tyler goes for a follow up with the Neurologist on Friday. We will find out then what the next course of treatments will be.
Again, thank you for your love and prayers!!! We are all so extremely grateful!!!
