For my cousin

[BlackSTX]

Thanks for the prayers everyone!

Just to update you on my cousin's progress. His spirits are pretty high, despite still not having any sight. His sense of smell and taste had been lost, but are starting to slowly return. He did say every once in a while he can make out a shape or silhouette, but only for a split second. A lot of the swelling he had is gone, and he really looks much more like himself too.

He also mentioned that they will do another CAT scan later this week, and if everything looks good, more stitches will come out and he may be able to go home shortly afterward. Possibly as early as next Monday.

There's still a ways to go, learning to read braille and adjust to functioning without sight, but he seems to be up for the challenge.

Thanks again!
