WAKE UP WOO!

According to Dr. Ledyard (spelling?), Trevor's CT scan is the cat scan of a dead person. Proof that Trevor has now officially conquered death. Twice.

A collaboration of random thoughts...

The thing about this accident that I am having the most trouble coping with is that there's no way of knowing what happened. We don't know if a seizure caused all of this, or if Trevor hit his head, or if his brain got shaken up, or if the implant was loose to begin with. And not that it matters I guess, but I just want answers... something to blame all this chaos on.

After the first accident, every morning Trevor would complain about the screws being loose in his head; that the plastic implant was wiggling. So he finally went to the doctor to get a cat scan to check it out. The day the doctor told him the implant was fine was the day he stopped going to the doctor. "They don't know anything."

It makes me sick to my stomach to see all these patients in similar conditions as Trevor who are laying there in dark rooms by themselves. And as crazy, broken and full of drama as my family is, we definitely kill it at coming together at times of crisis. I'm proud to be a part of the Walker/Rhoda bunch.

They pulled the drain out of Trevor's head. Some chick came in to check to see if he has blood clots anywhere. Blood clot free is the way to be; good job Trev! Blood pressure is high today. I think our stress might be contagious. Being treated with medication for this of course.

Speaking of high blood pressure, holy cow did Trevor get riled up to see Corbett! As soon as Corbett started talking, Trevor tried really hard to open his eyes and was moving around on that left side like crazy. He kept making pinching motions with his left hand. I don't know if he was trying to grab Corbett's hand or give him a thumbs up or what he was going for there, but nonetheless it was exciting.

So at first I was a little apprehensive about Trevor being treated at a teaching hospital but I've officially changed my mind. I think it is a good thing because A. The nurses and doctors explain everything to the students, which means we actually know what is going on and B. Everything is new and exciting to the students so they're all enthusiastic, interested, careful, caring, innovative and determined in helping my brother. They actually treat him like a human. Awesome!
