As a phoenix out of the ashes…

How does one describe and live in the shadowy brilliance of The Mystery?  This weekend Jeremy has made phenomenal progress on his journey.  Over the last week Jeremy began sitting on the side of the hospital bed with assistance.  Friday found him cruising the halls of the Neuro floor in a cardiac chair.  By Saturday he was spending longer periods of time sitting in his chair, having extended conversations, and taking a pencil in hand placing it on a dot on a sheet on paper and then drawing a line to another dot.  This young man continues to astound the odds on his rise from the throes of a devastating injury.  He truly is a phenomenon.

Jeremy has been able to demonstrate a full range of emotions…smiling and laughing at jokes (even ones that are questionable as to their relative humor), contemplation, sadness, fear, anger, frustration, happiness, and boredom.  While there are moments of childlike frustration with the inability to master a movement, thought, or verbal expression, there are also moments of childlike tenderness.

While Jeremy’s sheer will to survive combined with the faith, thoughts, prayers, and positive energy of many brought us to this place, one can only sit back and wonder what else is in store.  When The Mystery takes hold of our lives, we are left to consider not only how we got to this place; but also what is possible.  As we could never have foreseen this outcome…we can also only imagine what may lay in store for Jeremy.  This fascinating journey has only just begun…GO Jeremy GO!!!
