We got some more good news today...the test results show that Ian needs to work on the "sharpness" of his brain. Everything is taking a little longer to process right now but they say it is VERY EARLY in recovery and they hope that it will all come back. In the meantime Ian asked his therapist to give him some Algebra instead of long division which he has not done since 3rd grade so she did...he got a perfect score! His language skills are very high right now but the math is coming along, good thing he has Dad to teach him and get him back on track.
He is having fun with the therapist and they all love his sense of humor. He is really taking all this well. Keep on praying - it is working - GOD has his ways. I keep telling myself this happened for a reason, I just can't figure out what. I do know one thing for sure. GOD spared Ian for some reason, he has a mission for him in this world and I can't wait to see what it is. It will be amazing just like he is!
Ian's parents and sister aren't too shabby either. It seems that you all have a mission!
ReplyDeleteThis is so great to hear. Keep up the hard work Ian. God truly must have something good in mind for you! Your friends miss you and look forward to your homecoming.

Great News! The meaning behind the name Ian: "God is gracious"; "God is Forgiving"; "Gift from God". Keep up the good work Ian :)
ReplyDeleteAll things happen for a reason... God will show us those reasons when we are ready.

Hi Puran- I really feel it is still so early in Ian's recovery. I worked in-patient rehab as a speech pathologist for 8 years and saw so many young adults like Ian. He will work through this and his chances are excellent. He was a smart cookie to begin with and has an amazing support system. I know that doesn't make it any easier to go through. Some day you will find out why God challenged you all in this way. Until then I hope you are finding strength in God and friends and family.
ReplyDeleteHave a restfull weekend and I hope Ian breaks out of the jail cell soon! Jen Rosasco
