Steve is progressing through the stages. Some of them aren't so pleasant, but they are scheduled stops on the journey. The stage he is in now is characterized by some anger and irritibility.We've been told that at this point, the patient is really beginning to know that they are damaged, cannot do what they used to do (at least not with ease), want the previous life back, and the frustration boils over into various expressions of unpleasantness. On the positive side, Steve is making big gains in the cognitive skills. Concentration is improving dramatically. Today he stayed engaged in conversation with the speech therapist for 30 minutes. Georgina asks for prayer for Steve's nasty side to diminish.

Hello Steve, Beth, and Georgina. My husband, Kevin, and I, Kit, are friends of Marianne and Mark. Actually Kevin knows Steve. We are constantly hoping and praying for his ongoing progress. I believe Marianne is out there with you now - she can always provide great comfort. I understand the stages he's having to go through, and they are difficult for all involved. Hang in there everyone - tomorrow always brings something brighter.
Kit and Kevin Hill
