Awesome News

Today, Brian was moved out of the ICU!

Not only has he been moved, but he actually stood on his feet (with assistance) and is getting stronger every day! Today was a great day!

Love,
Sarah

--------------------------------------

Also, to answer a question I keep getting asked: Yes, Brian is speaking more. I guess it wasn't clear from our last couple of updates, but he HAS now said more than the word "no". When Sarah and I spoke yesterday, she said he was talking and even saying some very Brianesque things - which is a very good sign! ~ Rachel

    That is TERRIFIC! Hearking back again to my own brain surgery 12 yrs ago -- I don't know how Kootenai Hospital is set up, but at UCLA Med. Center's neurosurgery ward there were wooden rails in the hallways for the patients to hold on to. As soon as I was able, I'd get out of bed and walk around the area (holding on of course) to help get my strength back. I didn't get anything in the way of therapy except "step" -- step up on something, then step down again -- apparently re-training you for staircases. GO BRIAN!
