Trav's Next Step

Superman TRaViS!!!!!

Looking handsome as ever these days:)

Especially with his gorgeous mama!

I treasure every second with this guy.

What a miracle.

I would take him everywhere I went

if he wanted to go;)

Of course it's hard sometimes because

it's so easy for him to fall especially

when I also have THE STORM

to tend to...but so worth it.

Worth.Every.Second. 

I usually say LOTS of prayers for him

while we are together. 

What am I saying?

I say lots of prayers for him

even when we aren't together. 

Last week, he finished up another

session of Baylor Speech.

Alex was a very sweet and wonderful

therapist.  It was nice getting to know her.  

The end of the semester conference

wasn't as positive as they have usually been.

He just didn't progress as much as usual

this session.  I think he was tired (DUH...

who wouldn't be doing speech over

and over) and I'm pretty sure not getting

the therapy at Hillcrest alongside

this therapy hurt him, too. 

(Insurance has cut out so he can't

go to Hillcrest for speech or any

therapy for that matter). 

My tears couldn't stop falling during

the conference.  I just can't help it.

This guy works harder than anyone

I know...and not to much avail. 

It breaks my heart and I guess

hearing it loud and clear

makes it that much harder to bear. 

The head of Baylor speech told us

that if their program was based

on insurance & progress that they

would not be able to continue either.

Thankfully Baylor is NOT

and they aren't giving up on him!!!

DUH!!!!!!!!!!!

There's still so much HOPE left

in this guy, in me, in our family...

and most of all in GOD!!!!!!!

"We have this HOPE as an anchor for

the soul, firm and secure."

Hebrews 6:19

Some federal funding has recently

become available for Travis to have two

more months of rehab in a brain

injury facility.  CNS in Dallas

wants him back!!! 

We loved his time at CNS and felt

they were the best place that he

went during the first year after

the accident.  Travis really doesn't

remember his time there, but he

did the bulk of his recovery there.

If all goes accordingly he will

return there on June 1st. 

He's excited as he knows this is

what he needs.  It will be HARD

on him, on us, on everyone. 
Harder on him than I think he realizes,

but I truly believe this is such

a good and amazing thing to come

back our way.  Please be in prayer

leading up to his return to CNS

and that it will be just what he needs!!!

 

On days when the tears won't stop

falling over this situation or I learn

of another person in my world

battling cancer or I see someone

hurting or I don't understand

why things are the way they are,

 I comfort myself

by thinking about Heaven. 

I love the thought of everything being

made clear and perfect

and all the pain and sadness in

this world being GONE.

LONG GONE!!!!!

I'm not ready to go yet...unless

Jesus appeared and took my

family and me today, but

still what glorious comfort it is!
