Day 11: Isolation (2008-03-24)

Today was a return to "normal" for the family. Beth and David went back to work. Bayley and Zoe, with Spring Break ended, went back to school. Emma went to pre-school. It was a return to normal for everybody except Braxton.

For Braxton, today was a day of isolation. While last week was more traumatic and scary, he was never alone. Either Beth or his Dad was with him every day. Today there's nothing traumatic happening and Braxton is by himself.

I felt very guilty leaving the house this morning. I know that being alone can be very hard and I hate to see Braxton have to be so isolated. The problem is that Beth and I need to save our sick days so that we can be with Braxton when he really needs us.

So for now, the big challenge for Braxton's recovery is dealing with isolation.
