Ed, brother is litterally just like the movie "50 First Dates", but a little worse. He is litterally living within about a 20 minute window of memory. Couple weeks ago, I spent 6 hours with him chatting it up, hanging out together, he can have remarkable conversations.

I went out and had a sandwhich, came back and he looked at me and said "Hey bro, I haven't seen you in weeks". Trouble is, he wasn't being his old sarcastic self.

He requires 24 hour care and family has been the only available to provide that. Incredibly my brother and I are the only two brothers I know of that live exactly three doors down from each other on the same side of the street, so since he's been back at his house from the hospital, a combination of me, my cousin Jill, and Ryan's 19 year old girlfriend who lived with him before, and incredibly has stuck by his side and remarkably has provided most of Ryan's one on one care.

Physically he is nearing 100 %. His balance has gone from complete immobility to probably 90% of the time he creates his own as he walks. The other 10% of the time the person standing next to him steadies him. Even three weeks ago that number was 50%.

We are four months and two weeks out from the accident today. And he is showing signs of improvement in every way that are apparent every day. We have a lot to be thankful for, and a lot to be hopeful for.

As do you guys.

Thanks for asking, and Merry Christmas!
