Looking good Bryan! Us Giants fans are a tough bunch, I'm using a walker now after 4 1/2 months in the hospital. Hope to see you in 2012!

Dear Family, Seeing this picture of Bryan with all of you brought tears of joy to my eyes. I have been thinking of you a lot around this Thanksgiving and remembering my last Thanksgiving with a loved one in the hospital. I'll continue thinking positive thoughts for you and Bryan. Happy Holidays!

I continue to be entirely ashamed at what happened to Bryan and completely amazed at his resilience.

Bryan, you continue to show such strength. I am so happy to see your amazing progress! You're looking fantastic! An inspiration to all. Happy holidays to you and your family. God Bless. xo

Love to hear all the progress you are making, it is unbelievable, pure will to get back to your kids and family. You are always near my heart and i want to see you at opening day throwing the first pitch to Buster Posey. Keep up the great work

Warmly,

Linda

My husband, who has worked with Bryan, just told me to check out the update. Bryan is an inspiration to us as we deal with my sister's battle. Words cannot describe how I feel when I see where Bryan has been to where he is today. Thank you for keeping us updated on Bryan's progress. He looks fantastic!!

Hope your Thanksgiving was great! I forgot about your story since I went overseas, but I remembered to check and am glad to see some progress. Wishing your family a merry Christmas!

That picture just made my day. I am so happy to hear and see that Bryan is making progress. So thankful to see that he got to spend this holiday with his family and friends. What an inspiration Bryan is. Thanks for the updates and Happy Holidays.

Hi Bryan,

Wow, what a great family photo of everyone. It will be blown up and framed no doubt. I really hope & pray that Bryan was able to enjoy the day and relatives around. It appears as if he might have been able to.

All the very best to Bryan and all of the Stow Family. I continue to be so thankful that Bryan has continued to improve as he leads all of us on this path of recovery.

Thanks, God, for listening to our millions of prayers...and we're just getting started!!!!

I have been following Bryan's progress from Day 1, and my family and I pray for Bryan and your family everyday...Your strength and courage is inspiring, and has made me appreciate life and love so much more. God Bless and Stay Encouraged

I'm so pleased to hear that you folks had a wonderful Thanksgiving with Bryan at home. Bryan and family, you have such amazing strength. You are an inspiration to us all. And baseball season will be here before you know it! Happy Holidays and best of health, from the middle of the country.

What a surprise when I logged onto this site today - Great photo of the family and Bryan look's great!!

Keeping you all in my prayers and wishing you more wonderful family moments.

Hi All,
I never gave up my faith in Bryan. From all that you have shared with us about his strength and with God's will, I just knew he would fight. Your family should be an inspiration for all. Your love helped him come this far. I remember when this tragedy happened and Bryan was critical in ICU. I shared his story with a fellow nurse and she thought Bryan did not have a fighting chance, I remember thinking, "I don't agree with you, you are wrong"... and I was right! We can never give up our faith and hope, what else is left?? I was just so happy in my heart to see you all in the photo. I know things may never be the way they were, but you are blessed to have eachother and life. What a gift to us all to have you share with us, and walk with you maybe not physically, but emotionally in our hearts and minds. God Bless you today, tomorrow, and forever!
Love, Nurse JJ
PS-Bryan's hair looks great! next...tanning this summer! :0)

Wow, Bryan! Who knew what to think back in April when the news was filled with the most dire reports about your condition. This photo demonstrates the outcome of your will and resolve to overcome the most difficult of circumstances. The previous poster Jay Owens was right, "things may never be the way they were, but you are blessed to have each other and life." And it is indeed "a gift to us all" to have the Stow family sharing your recovery and rehabilitation with us. Their lives, too, are transformed, as are ours. Thanks, Stow family! GREAT photo.

What a surprise I got when I checked in to your website. Great to see Bryan and family enjoying time together. I continue to keep all of you in my thoughts and prayers. Great job, Bryan!! The Stow family enriches all our lives.

Thank you and God bless you for sharing your family with us!

I was in the middle of Thanksgiving dinner and glanced at my Stow band (it has not been off my wrist since I got it); sent a positive thought to Bryan and family and then thought that I have nothing to complain about, even though recent times have been tough.

Bryan's story has been a gift in a strange way; it gives us a perspective on life, and on what's important.

Thank you, Bryan, you have given a great gift to thousands (millions probably) of people.

Priceless!

Jan from San Fran

What an awesome family picture! Bryan it is both a relief and a blessing to see you sitting up, smiling, and surrounded by your personal fan club! God has shown us through you that miracles still exist. Keep up the great progress you are making and hold tight to this picture in your mind's eye. While your supporters number in the thousands, these are the people who are by your side day-by-day, cheering you on. God bless you Bryan Stow!

Just wanted to get another look at that Great picture of Bryan. Keep working hard man. We are here for you. You are the best!
Blowing you a kiss, so pucker up :)

What a great suprise to see a photo of you and how great you look. I have been following your story and find you to be a great inspiration. I pray for you to become healed and healthy again as well as your family so they may continue to have the strength to help you heal.

Sending you the warmest holiday wishes that you continue to progress and become whole again. Merry Christmas & a Happy HEALTHY New Year. Erin Sola - NJ

Bryan you look great! What a wonderful Thanksgiving this must have been to the entire Stowe family, and extended family. Prayers for a continued recovery!

What a blessing that picture is.

Great to see Bryan up and about. I look forward to your updates. Bryan has a tremendous support system. God Bless Bryan and his family (natural and extended).

It is good to actually see Bryan. Although he is physically with you all, I hope that he will be whole again. I hate seeing that vacant look on his beautiful face. Dear God, make this man whole. It is killing me.

LOVE the family picture!!!!! Hope that you all have a wonderful Christmas season together!!!!!! Keep up the hard work Bryan, you look really good!!!! (just as cute as ever)

Thank you so much for sharing the beautiful photo. Bryan looks great - handsome as ever! Another day, another step forward.

Continued prayers - ALWAYS!

Love,
Jeannie

Bryan, just want to let you know we are thinking of you. I hope you are pushing through the pain. We are here for you. Everyday you are that much closer to outpatient therapy. You are doing a wonderful job and I want you to know that the world is praying for you and your two little angels. take care and know you are love all over the world.

Bryan is an amazing guy. It is wonderful to see him with his family. What an inspiration he has been to me. Keep up the fight Bryan, I hope I can see you at a Giants game in 2012. Have a merry christmas.

Just wanted you to know that I've been thinking about you and your family everyday, praying for all of you. Keep up the good work with your therapy Bryan!! Santa Claus is watching you!
Love from Carleen in Vancouver, WA

Another week goes by. There is hardly a day that I do not think of Bryan. With Christmas fast approaching and 2012 just around the corner, Bryan has a lot of work to accomplish. Spring will be here before we know it and we are EXPECTING to see him throw out that first pitch. I know he can do it.

I think about Bryan everday. I hope and pray that he knows people care as much as they do. I would never want him to feel he is alone or forgotten. This horrible, violent crime does not represent Southern California. I am utterly ashamed to share a region with such despiciable thugs. My heart will never be the same knowing that this great guy has lost so much. My prayers to the family for the strength to keep your hearts open. I will alwys keep him in my thoughts. I wish I could do more. God Bless

I want to express my sadness and joy for your family. I think of Bryan often. And have wondered how he was doing. I am so happy to hear about his progress.
