For Trevor



Tuesday, 31 August 2010- Well, it was with some disappointment that we got to the hospital so we could spend some time with you before you went to surgery to repair your jaw. They postponed it because you're still a little unstable with your feedings and nausea. The really cool thing is that earlier in the day Kyle told your mom that he didn't feel right about the surgery happening today. When your mom met with the nurses they told her that the surgeon didn't feel right about the surgery happening today. Coincidence or the Hand of God? You did receive a blessing that your caregivers would know what to do. So now your surgery has been rescheduled for tomorrow evening. It will be another late night.

Today we didn't get up to the hospital until around noon and when we arrived you were more awake than you've been in the last four days. You had more people visit today too. Grandma, Cherie, Dean and Rene came and spent several hours with you as well as Kris and Emily Gould and Diane Pollock. You were more yourself and that was wonderful to see. Earlier Grandpa and I got you into a wheelchair and took you to the Forever Young room. Years ago when Steve Young was a star quarterback at BYU and the San Francisco 49ers he donated money to build a play area for patients at PCMC. It's really cool. The first thing you did was challenge Grandpa to a game of Foosball. He had to play with one hand just like you and
you did beat him. After awhile we moved to the video game area and you tried to play a Sims game. It was disappointing that the computer didn't work. We headed back to the room but we detoured a little because I wanted to show you something. What I showed you made your eyes light up and you were, for a moment, in heaven. We wheeled you up to one of the most beautiful baby grand pianos with gleaming white and black keys. It took about thirty seconds for you to go from Mary Had a Little Lamb to Phantom of the Opera. In fact you took your injured arm out of the sling enough to use both hands. What a treat to hear you play again and I felt sorry for the times I asked you to stop playing so loud. I wanted you to play so the whole world could hear. Your eyes reflected the biggest smile your heart could send. Yes it was a good day! Tomorrow will be the real start of your healing and you will continue to be the recipient of many prayers. I love you...INFINITY!
