Still holding strong....


Brian is still progressing. He really does better with the door to his room shut, lights dimmed, no TV, and limited visitors. He was able to read the word "cars" from a tablet of paper. When asked to name some cars, he said; Toyota Celica and Sebring? When asked what kind of car he drove, he said extended cab. When asked what kind of gas it took, he said diesel. So he is trying hard but there is some error. If you knew Brian he drives a maroon Ford Ranger that takes unleaded. Mom also told Brian that we need to get him a radio and listen to some KZOK, then minutes later he was singing...."strawberry fields forever"! His humor is definitely helping us cope. His eyes are tracking much better and he sat in a chair for 30 minutes with PT. Apparently after suffering from hypoxia, this is exactly what happens. Our next hurdle is Brian's cardiac issues, and we will deal with them as they come. Thanks again for all your support.
