Do you ever just lose your self in a story? I do often. Which delays me in writing. Which brings me to today. So a quick update on LilBro. He is doing great. In the rehab center now finishing up what should be the last 2 weeks of being in a hospital. The bruise on his brain affected him a lot. The nurse I spoke about the last time was reprimanded. I can't gloat about it though because even now in a new hospital center he remembers the day when 'the person tied me down and drugged me'. No matter how many times we tell it that is what he remembers.
The drug she sedated him with (dilaudid, which spell check rightly so keeps trying to change to deluded) has had lasting effects. Last Wednesday, the day before he transferred to rehab, we were playing 'If I went camping' with Mom & his sitter (with his history of pulling his pic line, detaching his leads, ripping out the iv, attempting to pull the trach tube out even though it was stitched in and taking a walk down the halls at 2am, they rightly decided to have a paid pro sit in his room twenty-four hours a day). We were at K when he pulled our attention to the poles. His room on the 4th floor (where we were currently out from graduating from Trauma iCU) has a large metal square around his room with 4 posts, that is used for the thing people can help pull themselves up on. He tells us we need to be careful because the pole next to the sitter was warping a bending. He didn't want us to get hurt by it. Even though it had been a week since he had last had Dilaudid Mom remembered he had slight hallucinations like this before he was switched to Perocet.
So he has going through the ages with currently being at 15 or so. Not necessarily completely a 15 yr old and no memories after. He can remember up to 3 days before the accident. Its more competency and actions. Its weird to see it so obviously. There was a day when I saw Loe (6 1/2) in the way he acted. Recently a day when I say Ley (about to be 10) reflected. He had separation anxiety, which still flares a bit when Mom is the last one to leave. Which brings me to the point I started an hour ago. He has been so upset a few nights when Mom leaves. Upset to tears. He repeats he is scared he will be tied down again. I wish I could take the pain off of him.
On the ex-girlfriend side. wow. She proved it was all about her. Mom asked her to back off a bit, but she would still send her updates. "No, only if something happens or if he asks for me" Seriously. Since then Mom found it may be up to a year for him to be as close to pre-accident. Ex-girlfriend found out and BAM. All of us have been de-friended on FB, all but 1 picture of the two of them on her page has been deleted and she posts: I want to be somebody.. I want to just live and not feel like I have to make anyone happy.. its my turn.. don't even care what people say.. no one cared how I was treated.. so why worry
Quick answer huh. Now all over her page are people praying for her (not the broken supposed love of her life in the hospital) and saying poor her.
In rehab, which I don't even Foursquare at, he is further down the road. 2 weeks is his expected release in to the world. The world, his world is so drastically changed. I hope and pray it will all be fore the better.
