I guess I don't see the connection.

If it's any consolation, Dani, my second husband had encephalitis when he was 5. It took him a while, but he recovered almost completely although he can't do puzzles and put mechanical type things together. He's a financial analyst with an MBA so he really doesn't have to do any puzzles anyway! Your cousin is in the best possible place.
I will keep him in my thoughts and prayers.

(((((((((((((((((((((Dani))))))))))))))))))))))))) ))))))))
I am so sorry to hear what your family has been going through! I'm out of town, but will still be praying for your little cousin, and for peace for your whole family. I'll echo the Legos and such for toys; something that won't jerk any of the IVs he's on, yet still fun. Or, just reading some goofy stories to him - kids are so different, it's hard to tell what each one would like.
Hint: Take a box of chocolates to the nurses station, and make sure they knew who they're from. Crazy, but over the years, I've noticed what a huge difference it makes in treatment.

This is excellent advice.

I will keep your family in my thoughts and prayers. I hope that your cousin is doing well and out of the hospital as soon as possible.

Not crazy. Smart!
Dani, your family is in my prayers. You might ask the nurses what items cannot be brought into his room. When my DH was in the Neuro ICU, he couldn't have balloons. Who knew?!
