Hi everyone. Bryce wants to let you know how he is doing and to tell the truth. He is recovering well from the pnuemonia, but he has now lost a lot of sensation and motor movement in his left arm. This is really putting him in despair, and it may be a result of a pinched nerve from being put on his stomach to sleep, but it also could be more serious since it is at the level of his injury. Every day, he lies in his bed and listens to jazz and reggae, and watches a bit of tennis, but time drags on, and the worries and nightmares step in all too often. Please know that he values his days of what he calls "beautiful" movement and joy with you. Your notes are "lifeblood" in every way, and when you have the time, please contact your now suffering friend who treasures his time with you. He has a fighting will, and he has been thinking about what he can do in the future, but just as he builds his dreams, setbacks take away the pieces, and the answer always is "wait".
