I received an update from Luco about Claudio last night. Claudio is to be released from the hospital on February 19, 2005!!!

He will need to return for physical theraphy four times a week but at least he will be able to go home. I understand that he is impatient to head home and continue to heal. The physical rehab sessions are going a bit better as well and aren't taking some much out of him. He has regained some weight and is starting to look more like "Claudio" again. He was able to raise both legs about one foot off the bed while lying down. He still can't move his legs below the knee but is working hard to progress on all fronts on the road to recovery. With time and persistance amazing things can happen.

Thanks to everyone for their donations and concern. Remember the SoBe party coming up on March 25, 2005 and the raffle.
