Much needed Update

Sorry for not updating my blog. I spent almost all of August in Utah with my family. My brother Curtis is doing a lot better and is now in the physical therapy rehab center at the U of U. He spent about 4 weeks in the Intensive Care Unit where he under went at least 5 surgeries, it might have been more but I can't remember. When he first arrived at the hospital he had extensive internal bleeding and they had to remove his spleen because it had ruptured. He had a "brain drain" put in to control the pressure in his head and that has now been replaced with a brain shunt, he also had a tracheotomy done because he punctured his lung and broke 5 ribs and that has now been taken out. They figured that he must have had a stroke due to the trauma so his left side is weak but continually getting better and stronger everyday. He has been able to regain his ability to read, write and talk. Yesterday he was able to take a couple of steps using parallel bars and today he gets to eat his first real meal in weeks. We continually pray that these little miracles will continue each and every day. Thanks for all your love, prayers and support during this rough time for Curt and our family.
