brady update

i've been wanting to give an update on brady for some time, seeing as the original post has finally slipped off the main page. i was hoping to get down and see him myself and snap a few shots. however, since that hasn't happened, i asked paul ferris, who lives in savannah with him, to send me a photo. this is from a barbecue that his parents threw for him recently at the rehab center. he looks surprisingly good to me -- i think i was expecting his appearance to be a bit more battered and bruised, but he appears to be healing quickly. paul said this in his email:

This was taken on Friday, June 11. Brady's parents organized a barbecue at the hospital and invited a bunch of his friends.

I saw Brady Monday night. He actually walked to the bathroom by himself
using a walker. It was amazing. He's trying to go off the pain meds-- very
difficult -- but he was in good spirits. He has so much strength and
tenacity.

so, that's the latest news on his condition. if anyone reading has other updates or information, please feel free to comment.
