This has been twenty years ago, but I know that when I "woke" up everything was different.<BR/> It has been a long time, five times as long as Clay has been with us, but I have discovered some things.<BR/> The younger a person is the better the prognosis. I really don't know much about burns, but from when I was in the Navy debriding 2nd degree burns I can kinda relate to Clay's pain.<BR/> I didn't have any pain in the hospital, but now I do, and this is twenty years after the fact.<BR/> Another thing I found out was; keep a sense of humour. AND REMEMBER GOD IS IN CONTROL! Nothing matters but salvation.\<BR/> Don' worry, be happy.<BR/> JEFF kINGJeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07229586265209220276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6623882953855456300.post-1555383393006929342009-03-12T13:01:00.000-05:002009-03-12T13:01:00.000-05:00We have read with happiness the updates since the ...We have read with happiness the updates since the accident.

Life is a trial mile by mile, life is hard yard by yard, but life is a cinch inch by inch...because step by step and prayer by prayer God will always get you there. Your family, friends, community, and those of us you may never know personally are crawling every inch with you, but most of all, Jesus is with you, holding you, loving you, He will never leave you.

I was so worried. It is a lot of work the constant reassurring, and encouragement he needs right now. So many of the medications can create amnesia which is great in many ways. However, it can be confusing and scary for him. You two are awesome parents and remember that God have him to you because YOU are who he needs.

So thrilled for you that you got to see his beautiful eyes again, taking it all in. What a blessing! Just a suggestion that was helpful to us in helping "anchor" Brian when he was in the burn ICU is we had a family photo blown up to poster size and laminated at Kinko's and hung it in his room so that when he would wake up confused wondering where he was he could look at the picture and know he was safe in his room. The med's do funny things to the mind and to him it was how he reassured himself. We continue to pray for you and tell others your story so they too can pray for you.
