I love watching how happy my brother is! It wasn't too long ago that he was despondent, angry, depressed and in major discomfort. He wasn't able to be himself. Happy Happy filled with Joy Joy!
It took over 4 years to bring him to this place with ALOT of working with services, doctors, replacing service providers and case managers and rehab aides. Finally, found those that work well for Paul and after fine tuning everything last February and the subsequent weekly, monthly follow through he is where he needs to be and back to himself.
Yes, sadly there is a change. His TBI is changing him. He is getting older and all the scar tissue is causing his ability to remember short term experiences less and less. Plus, I noticed that he is having a difficult time with connecting to his long-term memory.
Basically, it means simply that we need to be more patient and repetitive with him.
His overall personality has not changed and he is back to being actively engaged in his life and exudes so much joy.
We all can breathe a bit and thank God for blessing my brother and helping his service providers in taking such fantastic care of Paul.
Truly, Truly I am filled with HAPPY HAPPY JOY JOY as well!!!! (must run in the family)
