    fighter

    he is fighter with wisdom and a positive attitude with his caregiver at his side. 

     

    add in all the support from here, family, friends and facebook 

     

    there is do doubt in my mind he is in good hands with the man above. 

     

    recovery will be slow but he is used to that with his experience. 

     

    thanks for update
