Journal entry by Detra Telgenhof —
hey yall, it’s owen benjamin telgenhof, been near 6 months of being home from all of the hospital time i had. i wanna start by saying that i thank all of y’all for the thoughts, prayers, and meals if you gave them to my family. and just in general thank y’all for the support you gave us during the months i spent in GR. after i was released from the pound i was able to watch the basketball district final in which my Zeeland West Dux made an appearance to try and bring a district title home. a month later i went to my final high school dance:prom, and a few weeks later was able to walk across the stage at graduation. during baseball season, coach Muller was nice enough to let me hangout in the dugout with the team and during 2 of the games i was able to announce. my summer has been pretty chill, just a lot of therapy; in which i have recently taken a break from, started acupuncture a week ago, and also started counseling 2 weeks ago to try and help with my mindset for getting better, and also talk through everything that happened in the 5 months where i was spending my time away from home, friends, and school, and all the other things i missed out on
