Hope everyone made it through the hurricane alright. We did fine here at Brightwood, the generator worked as planned and kept Forrest comfy in his man cave. Thank you for the blog messages, we love reading them to him. Brian Selfe's post was wonderful in illuminating both the dark and the wonderful times in the last year, and showing just how far up the mountain Forrest has climbed. Speaking of climbing, Forrest continues to make great strides during assisted walking sessions and he continues to fight hard in other therapy sessions daily. He continues to have trouble with dizziness, motion sickness, and emesis, so he is making a trip to Faquier hospital today for an ultrasound. We asked him if he wanted to stay at the hospital instead of coming home this afternoon, and he gave the firmest head shake possible, so I guess we'll bring him back afterward... :)
All the best from Brightwood,
Austin

Forrest, the latest posts have been great - you are looking so good and doing so well - hope you had good results at the hospital too. I keep up daily, though haven't written in a while - Brian's amazing comments were inspiring so wanted to let you know that we are all still here, praying for you, pulling for you, cheering for you, watching your progress, noticing all the improvement, and missing seeing you and your family in person. Hope to change that soon! Sending love from all of the Shermans your way, Lisa
