Brown Eyes and a Grin

Super Gage, leaving the hospital

Home.

For Gage, it was one of the only words he could mumble during his six day stay at Primary's. 

Diagnosed with Cerebellar Mutism, a depressing side effect of surgery that can last anywhere from 6 days to 52 months, Gage has retreated into his own mind. Communication is felt through hand squeezing, mothers intuition and reading those beautiful, intelligent and mischievous brown eyes. 

Gretchen, Troy and Gage have been here before. With his previous brain surgery, Gage experienced Cerebellar Mutism. He hasn't been talking. He does cry and whine to communicate discomfort. But, we have been able to get some grins and giggles with silly antics and jokes.

For now, the family is healing. Their home is full of snuggles and super hero movies. Gage is being gobbled up by his friends and family. He is being watched over by his L104 Firemen. His countenance is calm. He is working on getting better.

We have been privy to the quiet miracles that occur when an outpouring of love holds a family together. We have no doubt that through you, not only Gage but his whole family has been lifted and comforted. You have helped to heal.
And we will never forget that.
Thank you. Times a billion.
