We Got This!

"I tell him I tried. I tried to keep memory alive; I tried to fight those who would forget. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented. There is so much injustice & suffering crying out for our attention. We must take sides. We must interfere. -E.W.

IBRF Today. 3 Year Post-Attack Assessment.

October 15, 2012 by Ryan's Rally LLC 15 Comments

Although we won’t know any results for weeks, today is highly important. The International Brain Research Foundation (IBRF) team of doctors and technicians are coming to our home for their periodic, yet complete, assessment of Ryan. I wrote about this on Saturday, if you’re interested in what will happen today (and can tolerate my bragging). You can read it here.

As for Ryan, the key this morning is to not tire or overexcite. I want him as alert as possible when testing begins. Especially for the qEEG (Quantitative Electroencephalography). Still, there are therapies that must happen. My plan (already in motion) is to not push him. I’ll keep it to passive exercises and light range-of-motion stretches. I want to get this is as early as possible so that he can have some quiet time to rest and relax before they arrive. Fortunately, his alternating monthly HBOT (hyperbaric oxygen treatment) session ended yesterday, allowing an extra ninety minutes in lieu of this therapy. We caught a break on this one.

I’ll also see to it that external stimuli is kept to a minimum. I won’t read him your FaceBook and website comments or the day’s news until later in the day  (i.e., any request to give him a hug or kiss will be deferred until bedtime). I’ll keep ESPN Radio off. The blinds will be shut and the house lights will be kept low. As for the woofers, they best not bark or it’s off to their kennels on the upper-level. They are, literally, on a short leash.

Tucker (a.k.a. “Woofer #1” or “Tucker Joe”) falling asleep in the middle playing. He is in his “pounce mode”.  

Think of it as what one might do when hungover and that should paint an exact picture.

After today… we wait. They always tell us we should have the results in a week to ten days, but that has never happened. It’s always more like a month. These results will show recovery at the three-year mark of Ryan’s beating (by Jonathan May and Austin Vantrease). Three years! Can you believe it? Please, don’t let it be that the healing has stopped!

I’m hoping we might have something to be thankful for when the smell of turkey fills the house as Santa makes his holiday appearance at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.

    My prayers continue for Ryan and his family. I know waiting can be a very anxious period for the best of us but if we can all do this together then it takes away some of the anxious moments. Hope is ever present especially in those anxious moments.

    Hi Ryan & family.
    I ran across your videos on YouTube & just found your website today.
    I have a 17 year old son with brain damage also & is sever in his diagnosis. My son was born this way & I’m very saddened to read that Ryan was not born this way.
    I will be praying for you guys, apparently today is a big day, so thank you Lord that I stumbled upon this site TODAY!! God’s timing is always perfect.
    Thanks so much for making these videos, you have helped me very much in the care of my son Jack.
    God bless!!

    Thinking of you all today, Ken, and sending you my love and prayers. One time it seemed you had to wait almost two months (?)for info about the tests. Ryan just looks so good and he’s so strong — I have to believe he continues to mend in body, soul and mind. Regardless of what the tests may or may not say, I believe our boy continues to defy the odds. Love, Prayers, Hugs xoxo

    Ryan has got to be getting better with the excellent care you have been giving him. I’m hoping and praying for a positive outcome. Do they give you any indication at all while they are examining Ryan?
    Good Luck today~

    Folks, repeat after me: We will be patient while waiting for the report from the IBRF! But, omigosh! this so very difficult, although we know there is improvement. We just know! ๐Ÿ˜‰

    Hugs all around while prayerfully waiting… …
