First, I want to apologize for the delay in this update. Life, as usual, got stressful. We unexpectedly lost Milton Menasco on March 18. He was more than my cousin’s husband, he was one of our best friends. We are completely devastated and still in shock. My brain is struggling to wrap my mind around all of this, and I feel like I’m just going through the motions of life. Milton and the entire Menasco Family have been huge supporters of Paxton’s journey. We will forever be grateful for his support and good vibes. Paxton is doing great. He still has a few sutures remaining, but he’s healing fast. He’s been crushing PT and OT goals. His PT was just reduced to 2x a month and, I think OT will follow that schedule soon. Speech is still Paxton’s biggest deficit. He continues to do therapy 2x week online. He’s still improving everyday. We are still adjusting to our new routines. We are looking forward to nicer weather and doing things as a family that feel normal. Thanks for all the continued
On the afternoon of November 29, 2021, Paxton suffered a brain bleed and lost his ability to talk or move his right side. He was put on a medical flight to Denver and was admitted to the PICU. This blog is to keep everyone posted on his progress. There is also a Go Fund Me page set up for donations toward medical and travel bills: https://www.gofundme.com/f/paxtons-stroke-recovery
