6 Weeks

Today it is officially 6 weeks since Brian's accident. He is doing, as always, better than expected! We celebrated Rowan's 1st birthday this weekend. She had her first taste of chocolate cake and frosting. I don't think she hated it one bit :) My Dad surprised us by making the trip from Milwaukee for her and my brother's birthday (it's on the same day). We had a small party to make sure that Brian wouldn't get too overwhelmed, but of course, he was great!

We are waiting to hear from the Colorado Neurological Institute (CNI) to schedule Brian's out-patient therapy. We hope to get that all figured out real soon, so that Brian benefits and we have an idea of when we get "back to normal." I can tell you from my personal observation that even since we left Spalding, Brian has shown great improvement! I can't tell you how nice it is to have him "home" with me and Rowan. He has his gait back when he walks, he has his normal speech patterns are back, his short-term memory is coming back better and more quickly than I anticipated. It is truly amazing!

Thanks for checking in and for loving our family so much!

Love,
Sarah, Brian and Rowan
