Today is the 1 year anniversary of Brian's accident.
I had been thinking for a while now that I wanted today to be my last update. We haven't had a lot of exciting developments lately and it seemed fitting to end the updates on the anniversary of Brian's accident.
It's hard to put into words what today felt like and what today meant for us. Thinking back on this year is traumatic and also inspiring. The countless hours spent in the hospital on one side but then the friends we made while at the hospital on the other side. Days spent wondering what life would look like after Brian came out of his coma and was out of the hospitals and seeing how far Brian has recovered in only a year. I can vividly remember one of the members of the trauma team saying they don't mark recovery from an injury like Brian's until a year and I thought that seemed so far away and here we are and his recovery far exceeds my expectation based on how he was at that time.
Since this will be our last blog update, I'll share a bit more about what his future holds. He will continue to work on his shoulder mobility and strength in OT. He also has developed pretty painful TMJ and he will be starting PT for that here soon. He will continue to work towards returning to work with Craig hospital and his OT and PT. As of now, Brian isn't sure yet if he will be able to return to his previous job or if he will need to find something better suited to his current abilities and that is something for us to figure out at a later time.
We will continue to host our golf tournament every year which is now a 501c3 non-profit! The registration for that is open now and there is a mailing list you can subscribe to to stay up to date on any information related to the tournament.

Thanks everyone for following along in this journey with us! What a crazy year it's been and I'm extremely proud of Brian and his recovery and I'm proud of Lincoln for how he handled everything. He was such a huge support for me and I can't even fathom how much more difficult this would have been without him.
