Nick asked me to post this message. He is extremely upset because people treat him like he is mentally handicapped. He spelled out to me today, "Everyone treats me like I'm slow". I understand that when people see him and the limitations he has physically, they naturally assume that he has mental deficiencies. That simply is not the way it is. It makes him angry when people speak to him like he's a child. Although he has lost some of his memory, his intelligence is great. The fact that he is so "with it" yet so dependent on others physically is extremely frustrating. His patience is wearing thin. Hopefully his physical capabilities will soon catch up to his mental ability.
Thank you for your understanding.

Hey Guys,
Tell Nick to hang in there he has come so far. He needs to use this frustration as strength to get him where he needs to be physically. I am still keeping you all in my prayers I think of you guys often.
I always admired the faith and closeness you all had through all of this.
