Grant was admitted to the St. Paul’s Hospital In

Grant was admitted to the St. Paul’s Hospital Intensive Care Unit (ICU) following complications from a respiratory virus (made more challenging because of Grant’s progressive muscle disorder), resulting in Grant needing a tracheostomy to help him breathe. Despite a successful surgery, Grant’s muscle disorder had progressed and he was having trouble moving and swallowing. It was then that the ICU referred Grant to the Palliative Outreach Consult Team nurse, Michelle. She knew that he needed more than medical interventions could provide, and suggested he might be interested in music therapy. Grant agreed to meet with the music therapist, and Michelle arranged for Joshua to visit Grant in the ICU.

Much to Josh’s surprise, Grant had a list of songs and artists he liked already at the ready. Grant’s eclectic taste in music had Josh playing songs like “Fernando” by ABBA, “Africa” by Toto, and even “Jailhouse Rock” by Elvis Presley. During each song, Grant would sing or mouth along to the words, with family at his side. As the session continued, he started making jokes, laughing, and smiling.

Michelle recalls from that first session: “When Josh played for Grant the first time it was like I could see Grant come alive, even though he was so, so sick. For Grant, it was a moment where he could focus on something else other than his sickness, his future, and the difficult decisions he had to make. I saw Grant come alive through the music.

Music therapy completely changed that room. It was him. His wife. His daughters. It was the staff, too. It was a real human connection that was made there. The music helped connect to Grant’s humanity.

Grant has since been moved from the ICU to the Palliative Care Unit on 10D, where Josh continues to support Grant and his family with music therapy sessions.

Ever wondered why the music from your teenage year

Ever wondered why the music from your teenage years feels unmatched? 🎵✨

It might be thanks to neural nostalgia! During adolescence, our brains create powerful emotional memories, forming deep connections to the music we loved. These songs become part of our identity, says Erin Spring, MT-BC, founder of Central Ohio Music Therapy.

Music doesn’t just bring back memories—it activates feel-good hormones like serotonin, dopamine, and oxytocin, explains Suzanne Hanser, EdD, MT-BC, from Berklee College of Music.

That’s why those nostalgic tunes don’t just take you back—they actually boost your mood and well-being!

Your teenage playlist isn’t just a throwback; it’s a key to your brain’s happy place. 🎶
