Just a quick note to let you know that Russ has made very good progress in his recovery. He will be leaving the hospital on Friday, November 5th and will go to stay at our parents' house at 224 Tech Road, Pittsburgh, PA 15205 (just in case you want to send more cards!). He still has a few months of recovery and rehabilitation ahead, but he has done remarkably well so far. I wanted to keep this short, as the next message you receive will be from Russ himself! He's been on the computer at the hospital and has been checking his e-mail a few times already. He's ready to get out of the hospital -- I think he's been a bit bored there this past week! Thank you all again for your wonderful support and warm wishes. Best regards, Karan Spanard (Russ' sister)
