Scott and Floyd

Last weekend Scott and Floyd were reunited for the first time since his accident over four months ago.  Jen was understandably a little nervous about the big event because both Scott and Floyd are at a stage right now where it is difficult to predict how each are going to react in any given situation.  When Jen arrived she asked Scott if he knew who was there to visit him today and he replied, "Floyd."  (I'm not sure if he remembered that from her telling him the day before or if he was reminded by the nurse five minutes beforehand but, in either event, it was amazing demonstration of short term memory skills which is something typically very difficult for people impacted by TBI.)  Scott, on seeing Floyd, said exactly what he always says to him, "hey buddy!"  They had a great reunion and it has been a huge relief for Jen to be able to bring Floyd with her to Vallejo on the weekends now.
