It has been three weeks today that Trey had his car accident. He is still on the trauma floor at Vanderbilt, but we received the great news today that he will be transfered in the morning to the Shepherd Center in Atlanta. This is a place that specializes in brain injuries and it is exactly what Trey needs. We are all so thankful the insurance approved this move!!

Trey has come a long way in three weeks.....a long, long way. He still has his trach and a feeding tube, but all other tubes are gone. He looks like our boy again without so many things hooked up to him. His lungs are healing so great and he is off all antibiotics. Blood pressure is great and pulse is great. We are thankful.

The best thing....last Thursday he woke up! He looks at us when we say his name. Now, he still has a lot of healing and recovery, but we are seeing miracles everyday. I have always called him Trey boy....well now he is miracle boy. He is a kid that wasn't even expected to survive the helicopter trip to Vandy and as of tomorrow we are off the trauma unit!

Trey still has a lot of obstacles ahead of him and we have encountered many many naysayers. We have been told the damage is too great and there is too much wrong in his brain to overcome....but we are calling on a higher power to help in the healing we need. He has already shocked and awed the doctors and nurses here and so he is off to Georgia to give those folks a run for their money.

We are a very close family. Trey is my brother's oldest son, but I love him enough he could be my own. No one can tell us if he will ever walk again or talk again or finish school. But I have faith that God has big plans for this special kid and I can't wait to see what he accomplishes.
