Well...I must admit that I'm the one who has been writing for Grant the past couple of months. Grant really wasn't up to it, but I wanted the blog to keep going. He hasn't been able to answer anyone's messages lately, but he does like getting them!
This past week has been the hardest week so far for Grant. The fluid in his head has caused all sorts of problems. The blood clot is also a big problem. His brain has been pushed towards the right side, and is pushing on his brain stem. We need the fluid to drain, and the clot to absorb into his system, so we can avoid another brain surgery. It will take several weeks for the blood to be absorbed, if it does, so all we can do is wait. If they remove the clot, they will also remove some of his brain cells, which is never good. It's near the temporal lobe which runs speech, language, memory and other things.
Right now Grant is not able to wake up easily. He's mostly just sleeping. It's almost like he's unconcious, but he does respond sometimes. He's fighting for his life right now, so please, everyone, keep praying & sending positive vibes his way. It hardly seems fair that he could beat 2 cancers, go through a bone marrow transplant (which still seems to be working) and end up with fluid & blood on his brain. He's the bravest person I have ever known. He is fighting, I can tell. No matter what, it's going to be a long recovery for him.
I, of course, am a mess. Either Matt or I are at his bedside at all times. My best friend Jeanine, and Grant's buddy, is also here helping us out. We all just love him so much and want him to get better. Thanks everyone for being there. Will post again as soon as I can.
