This week marks the end of the 6th and into the 7th week of Robert's recovery, my how time flies!

He moved last week to a facility which focuses on rehabilitation and has made some great progress! He has been able to start eating solid food, walking with assistance and doing some cognitive exercises like word problems and long division/multiplication for short intervals. He took quite a keen interest in the election and made sure to get out and vote in his wheelchair.

He is stubborn and optimistic, two traits which are generally helpful in the situation, but we have been reminding him of where he was 6 weeks ago and not to push himself too much. While he loves to always come in first place, this is not a race but a slow and steady process.

As always, we appreciate so much the kind words of support and encouragement, the stories of how you know Robert and your financial backing of his Road to Recovery. While he has amazed us with his progress, he still has quite a ways to go before he his 100% himself again, if he reaches that milestone.

We are so glad to have him still here with us!

Update 9

Well, as usual, I would like to apologize for not getting more updates for all of you who have supported Robert. The last couple months have been busy with getting the business up and running, moving him from Utah down to Arizona and continuing the healing from his accident. For those of you who are his Facebook friends, you already know he has been out riding again; heading the siren call of the road and his dream of breaking a Guinness World Record.

In the early morning hours of Wednesday, April 12th, Robert set out for a long distance ride from Arizona to Northern California. Unfortunately the desert heat was too much and he suffered some seizures while on his way to Palm Springs and was brought into the hospital late night on Thursday, April 13th. Alex flew down from Sacramento to see him in the hospital and bring him up to Sacramento to recuperate. In a few days he seemed back to normal and was ready to get back to Arizona to complete some bike orders.

On the morning of Wednesday, April 18th, he had additional seizures and was taken into the hospital. He has continued to have seizures off and on since Wednesday and the doctors are mystified since all of the tests they have run are showing him as healthy and without additional injury.

He is in a hospital in Sacramento with Alex and his girlfriend Drea attending to him. I will be flying up there in the morning to keep him company and give Alex and Drea a reprieve from the last week they have been caring for him.

I wish I had better news to share with all of you. He had been doing well and seemed back to his motivated, athletic self. Any prayers, positive thoughts and well-wishes are greatly appreciated! And thank you, again, for all who have donated to this campaign, as it has allowed Alex to travel to see Robert, for Robert's medical care and some of his additional needs.

We are hoping this time is just a minor setback, as is common with traumatic brain injuries, and that with some rest and recovery, he will be ready to fight the good fight!
