October 7th, 2009 (from Bryce's mother)

I have some good news. Bryce is moving out of ICU on Monday! He will still have the tracheotomy for 1-2 weeks, but his signs are improving. The difficult part is waking up each day and realizing over and over again that he is paralyzed. We are truly in a state of mourning now, and while I can never know what he is experiencing, I am aching as a mother.

I so want to get Bryce to think about the future and make plans, but he is still in that limbo period between two worlds, and I need to respect his need for time to grieve. We miss you all, but here in the Alps, he can re-build his life and then return home with the bulk of the work done.
