Slow Motion

Well it has been three weeks since the bleed, and I cannot believe how everything around me seems to be in slow motion. The other day I sat in a meeting at the school about Zachary and I found it difficult to process all of the information that was being shared with Kirk and I. However, Zachary's team was very good, and actually made sure eveything was in place for him. In fact Zachary's Speech Therpaist at the end of the meeting touched my hand and said, "Heidi I can tell that you are struggling with processing all of this information she then went on and shared with me how she experienced a brain bleed and the challenges and changes that it brought into her personal life. She said one thing about a brain bleed is that you never walk away the same person that you were before the bleed. I told her that I believed that and that I was working on coming to terms with that. The other day when I saw one of my doctor's she said "Heidi you are like a seed right now trying to sprout roots. Kirk and I together are also trying to process the whole event. The intial shock is over and now we are trying to gather up all of the scattered pieces so eventally we can put the puzzle together. The other day I was listening to the radio and I heard the song, "Just Breathe" and I thought that is what I must do right now. I will have to take one step and one day at a time and just breathe.
