I just want you to know that I want you to know everything that is happening at home. I'm not going to try to hide anything bad that is happening in our lives here. I'm sure you wouldn't appreciate that kind of treatment. You are a smart and very intelligent and yes, a loving person who does care deeply about the people at home. I know that you may feel that because you are halfway around the world that you are helpless to do anything. Being in the same building or room doesn't empower us anymore than if we were with you. Be happy that G&G&V were there with him visiting him and was able to call 911 and get him to the hospital, otherwise the story I'm telling you would be much different. He wouldn't have been found until the next day and no medicine would have been able to repair dead brain cells. With therapy he may regain some use in his left arm, but how much is going to be up to him. No one can do it for him. I will continue to let you know what's going on, even if you are out on a mission, I will still be writing you to keep you informed. Please keep your focus and keep yourself safe. I love you and I'm very proud of the person you are. Mom XOXOXOX
