Justin slept in, which is good. He got up early this morning and knocked on my door to make sure he had his meds right. He is tapering down on the steriod this weekend. By Monday morning he will just be on one medication. Praise God. They were giving him handfulls in the hospital.
Today is Tammy's birthday, so Jason bought a Cold Stone Creamery ice cream cake for her. Yum. As we were singing and laughing and having fun watching Tammy open gifts, the conversation turned toward Justin's week. Justin's memory shorted out last week. We were asking him about things we did and if he remembered. He just remembers snippets of the week. It was funny in a sad way. We all ate out last Friday night at Okoboji's with Hannah. Justin doesn't remember that at all. He turned down an ice cream cone on the way home and I remember thinking that was odd--he never turns down ice cream! It was the next morning that I found him in a seizure. Now it all is fitting together.
Our family has two blessings out of this. The first one is that we now know what to watch for "just in case", and secondly, we are so thankful that he doesn't remember most of the hard stuff. Lots of the things that were really hard the first few days are not even in his memory bank. I am OK with that.
