2/2 9:00 pm Pax Update
Hey everyone! Sorry it’s been a minute but life got a little crazy the last couple of weeks!
Today marks 48 weeks since the accident that left Paxton with a grade 3 diffuse axonal brain injury. It’s been 48 weeks of intense rehab, school, outpatient rehab, after school tutoring, baseball therapy and this last week……❄️🥶☃️❄️. Snow and temps down in the teens. For us southerners it was a big deal and lots of preparation and grocery shopping was done!
We really only got enough to sled down a few hills and pull the tube behind the golf cart, ever so slowly! School has been closed for the last six week days and tomorrow they get to go back for a half day! Yay!!!! I am exhausted from remote learning😂😂😂. Fourth grade is no joke!
Paxton continues on his drug holiday and while lefty hasn’t changed much, Pax perseveres and we encourage him with lots of opportunities to use lefty. We are still praying that God will intervene and calm lefty down. And, of course, we are still praying that new pathways are forming and reconnecting around any scar tissue from the shearing. God and new pathways are the answer!
Pax continues to practice basketball when weather permits and as soon as temps get above 50-60 he will be out warming up for baseball.
The accident was 5 days before opening day 2025 and for these 48 weeks we have been anticipating his return to baseball on opening day March 7th. Almost every day we talk about this. Baseball is his beloved sport. And our baseball community has wrapped us in so much love this past year for which we have been so thankful and grateful! It is possible that this won’t be his year. We have to have written permission from Pax’s doctor that he can play or he can’t step on the field, at all. We are cutting it close, his doctor’s appointment is 3/5 and 3/7 is the big day! Will you all please start praying with us for everything to fall into place for Pax to play! God’s will and his timing are going to reign and we know the answer could be “not this year”. And honestly, if the answer is no, my heart will be crushed. I’ve invisioned opening day as a full circle year for Pax. Almost to the day, I have seen in my mind’s eye Pax walking back out on the field having defeated this brain injury! I know, I know, I’ve probably set myself up for a let down but I’m praying I’m wrong! God is able and he hears our prayers!
Someone sent this to me and I read it every day!
“Don’t rush what I am carefully building. I know you want answers, clarity and relief, but my timing is perfect. What you are walking through is strengthening your faith and sharpening your discernment. You are learning to trust Me, not just for outcomes, but for every step. I am closer than you feel, guiding you even in silence. Keep praying, keep believing, and stand firm. What I am preparing will exceed your expectations”
This is our prayer Lord🙏🏻
Here are some random pictures over the last few weeks. I will also post a couple of videos from Pax!
We love you all! Please keep praying with us! Stay warm everyone!
