A Shout Out For Cory

I had the chance to visit my dear friend Cory McFarland last Sunday. Cory was in a bad motorcycle accident at the end of July and he suffered significant trauma to the head and to his brain.  He was in a coma for 16 days, and was taken out of ICU August 15.  There are so many amazing things about his recovery, and even about his accident.  Chris and I went up to visit a few days after the accident and his mom told us all the positive things about his accident, I know that sounds weird, but he was defiantly being taken care of.  

He has been doing great in rehab, and on Sunday his mom had only good things to say about Cory and his recovery.  He was so funny and you couldn't help but just love to be with him and hear him talk about all the soccer girls.  I took up some BYU soccer stuff, and I had a signed picture of the team.  Cory looked at it for a while, and then he started naming girls on the team, Katie Larkin, Kristy Dow, and Whitney Feller.  It was really cool, he was remembering things we had done, and all sorts of things about the soccer girls.  He loved the soccer girls, and he was and still is our faithful supporter. He remembers some things about his past, but not everything, so it was great that he could remember the soccer girls.

Just wanted to give you a shout out Cory, and let you know we all love you, and we are so proud of all the progress you have made, and keep working hard!  You and our family are in our prayers!  The soccer girls beat University of Utah last night for you, 5-0!
