Hi All,

I went to see Brian today. He looked great! His eyes were wide open and he waved at me several times as well as squeezed my hands. I gave him a bunch of kisses on his cheeks and nose- when I stood back he was making a kissy face at me- I asked “are you giving me kisses?” and he nodded his head “yes”! Aw!!!!

Last week he did have a bit of a lung infection. On Friday they had him in isolation for several hours - but when the infectious disease Dr. came in to check on him, he said the infection was not so bad - so he was off isolation. This type of infection is very normal for the type of injury Brian sustained. Being on his back and not moving for such a long period of time allows fluids to build up insdie him. His not smoking for several weeks also plays a huge part in all the build up in his lungs. Everything just wants to come out now - so he has been coughing a lot. He is on antibiotics and they seem to be doing the trick. He's doin gmuch better. I'm so proud of him for all the hard work he has been doing! He has been fighting very hard to come back to us and I am confident that all his hard work will pay off.

On Thursday November 2nd there will be a Benefit Concert at Sidelines on Barrett Parkway in Brian’s honor. Everything will get started at 8:00 PM and admission is $5 at the door. All proceeds will go to help Brian and our family. Four bands will be playing and it is sure to be a great time. I hope to record it so that Brian can enjoy it as well. He loves live music so much and will be so touched and grateful to know there was a concert just for him!

Special Thanks to Mikie and Rupert for all your hard work putting this together. We are currently trying to plan other events and tournaments (Foosball, Golf, Disc Golf) in Brian’s honor as well as to raise money to put towards all the up coming
expenses. We will keep everyone posted as plans start to come together.

Thanks again for everyone’s prayers and good thoughts! I’m sure Brian can feel all the love being sent his way. It has been fueling his trip down the Long Road to Recovery!

Thank You!!!!!

Jessica

P.S.
