Hey Deborah....
Glad to hear that finally he is back on his feet... though probably still undergoing a shock-phase because of the mental / physical trauma he has undergone...
I am positive he should be back to normal in sometime but most importantly this incident shall change everything for all of you... for the better... u seem to already notice that....
Situations/incidents in life may be seem painful in the beginning ... but afterall there is always a positive side to it at the end (we realise this most of the times a little late and sometimes immediately!)... wish i could apply this philosophy to my own life ...
Good luck and keep the faith..!
