Bryan Stow, the Giants fan who was hospitalized after being severely beaten during a Dodgers-Giants game earlier this season, is making strides.
On Wednesday, he spoke, telling the speech therapist his name, according to Support4BryanStow.com. He was then asked what his daughter’s name was and he replied, "Tabby."
Then asked what his son’s name was and he said, "Tyler."
On Thursday, he was able to tell the therapist his birthday, saying, "2/12/1969."
Also, when he saw a picture of Tyler and Tabitha, Bryan said, "I would like to see them."
"We are blown away with all of this," his family wrote on their blog, Support4BryanStow.com. "Literally one day we got some facial responses and the next, he’s talking. His voice is gravelly and you have to be close to hear him, but he is talking.
"Bryan’s had many ups and downs," they went on, "and though we see how far he has come, we try not to look too far back into these past 6 months, and we can’t look too far down the road so we focus on right now. We pray that the [doctors] can control the blood clots and they stay away from Bryan’s lungs. But right now, Bryan is more awake and more responsive then ever."
