James continues to be in stable condition at Texas Neuro Rehab. Center, Austin, Texas. He has a team of therapists that are focusing on physical and speech therapy. James is not speaking at this time although therapists are training him to communicate by using other parts of his body...hands..eyes. We visited "Saturday and James was sitting up relaxing in his room. He still has good and bad days though. Thanks for all your prayers. We will continue to keep you updated as to his progress. We are working to help James remember things and people right now. He is receiving daily therapy. James has learned how to breathe independently as well.
