Dear all the following is an update on Nic Brunner following his accident at Altona back at the start of the year provided by his family...

For seabreeze:

Nic Brunner is currently in a stable condition and in a rehabilitation facility in the process of moving through various levels of cognitive consciousness.  The term often penned to the state he is in is PTA (Post Traumatic Amnesia) but many can be used and he is still highly dependent. 

There is still no prognosis or expectation of recovery outlined but so far he has defied all previous prognosis in his recovery and has retained physicality.  Although still classed in a low to mid conscious state he can:

Sit with assistance
Go from sitting to standing with assistance
Can read
Speak 
Problem Solve
Engage with surroundings and the people he loves
Many others

We remain hopeful (not expectant) that in the months that follow that Nic will continue to move through his current state of consciousness as well as the higher ends of consciousness and take part in more active rehabilitation.

We thank everyone as always for their continued support and prayers for his recovery and more up to date and detailed information is always available at www.nicssorehead.com
