Visitation is now open to anyone!

Hello all!

Just spoke to mom. She said it would be ok to stop the visiting list and allow anyone to go. She thinks it would be good for him to have friends who can sign to him. He is now more aware and always keeps his eyes on the person talking to him. There have been signs of him moving his hands... trying to talk by moving his head or such... but it's still very early. His brain damage is unpredictable and can even take even two months before the doctors will know how much he will be able to "recongize or remember".

Visiting hours are somewhere like 9 am and 8:30 pm. Just check yourself in and tell them who you are visiting. A special note if I may from mom: when he looks like he is becoming sleepy, then that's the hint for time to go! :)

It is a joy to continue hearing from his visitors how Drew is doing... it is a painfully SLOW recovery but we couldn't do it without all of your support... I pass on comments from visitors to mom often, so thank you...

Another side note: a couple of Drew friends want to host a BBQ party to fundraise money for Drew on a Saturday in October... more details of this will come soon.

Hugs,

Alex

The BBQ is Sept 27th Sat-at Eagle Bank on Brentwood Blvd from
10:30pm-3pm. Brats & HotDogs. It is hosted by the BHS Football team. We would love for the deaf community & everyone who knows Drew to come out & help us raise funds for Drew & his family. We will also have a FCA & Donate 4 Drew raffle booth at Brentwood Days next weekend in which we will be raffling baseball tix, hair cuts, a chain saw, all kinds of stuff! All of the proceeds from both fundraisers go to Drew & his Family. We love you Drew & we are here for you & your family! For info call or text Therese Heard or Dan Williams 314-306-1916
