Progress

Good news keeps coming . . . and I am so relieved.  I know that my brother and his family have a long road ahead of them but it has been nothing short of a miracle . . . a week ago the prognosis was so poor and evaluations were being done and this week he's awake, responsive and in physical and speech therapy.

He's a very lucky man - and I'm very lucky too. 

Having to face one's own mortality when a parent dies is one thing - facing the possibility of having a younger sibling not around any more is almost more than can be borne.  Thankfully I'm not facing that prospect!

Keep positive thoughts and prayers flowing to him and his family . . . they need it.
