words of encouragement
Jason,
I heard tonight about your friend Terry from my brother, Warren Vest. I am Brian Vest's uncle living in Denver. I assume you know Brian, since Terry is a good friend of Brian's too.
I'm writing to offer you and your friends some words of encouragement. Nearly 20 years ago, my son Patrick had a very similiar accident from falling off the back of a moving car. Patrick was in a coma for 30 days and we were told that he would not make it through the night on several occasions.
Eventually he came out of the coma and began a journey of several months through rehabilitation. The part of Patrick's brain that was impacted was similiar to what I read about Terry on your blog. Patrick's personality did change - from being shy to being very outgoing. He also had partial paralysis on his left side, but gets around fine on his own.
Today, Patrick lives in an apartment in Denver, has several friends and has a good outlook on life. This is someone that was in terrible condition and according to his doctors, if he did survive, would be a vegetable needing total care the rest of his life.
So, stay encouraged that Terry's body and all the prayers and support of his family and friends will result in a recovery and outcome beyond everyone's expectations. We all face bends in the road of life, and this is a big one. With strong faith and a positive attitude from his family and friends, Terry will experience wonderful new scenes and experiences and bright tomorrows around this bend.
Prayers and Best of Luck to you all - Especially Terry
