Journal entry by Emily Bixby —
Hey everyone-
With extreme joy, I can let you know that BRAD IS HOME! After 146 days, tonight Brad will sleep in his own bed, in his own house.
There are no real words to express the relief our family feels today. Thank you to everyone who supported Brad and Maria and the rest of the family throughout these horrific 6 months. Thank you to Brad's bosses and coworkers at Piramal for your unwavering support.
Of course, the hospital bill is forthcoming. While it's not fun to think about, we know that it will come. If you're in any position to toss $5 in the jar, you can do so here: https://bit.ly/BradMcElliott. If you're not, please don't worry... your thoughts & support mean the world to Brad and all of us.
He still has quite a bit of rehab to complete, but we are confident that being at home will help his recovery tenfold. He needs a walker to support himself while standing & walking, but we're sure it won't be for long.
For now, it is enough that he is alive and well. And he is home.
Love,
Emily
