Bryan, your story has inspired so many to come forward with their love and prayers, to support you and your family with encouraging words that we might not have thought to say to another in need. Love and friendship supported my family during a really rough time. Without that, I don't know how we would have made it through. So, we pay it forward...to you, your family and maybe even to a stranger who's down on their luck. Even giving someone a smile can make a difference. Knowing that you are communicating with your family has brought a smile to my face today!! I pray for you daily, Bryan. YOU ARE going to overcome and heal! And all the love you get will surely bring it!!

Oh, yessss!!!! What spectacular news. I heard Dr. Manley speaking on news radio on Monday detailing Bryan's eventual move to a rehabilitation facility, so I knew that it must have been a very exciting few days for the Stow Family.

And this update is thrilling! I mean, this is pretty much what I've been waiting to hear since this all went down -- that Bryan had regained enough ability to begin to communicate with simple gestures or mouthing words or what have you. It goes without saying that this shows his brain function is still working and he's healing inside. What the future will hold is still unclear, I know -- based on the fluid build-up from the last cranial restoration I think the writing is on the wall that another shunt placement will be indicated -- but the trajectory for his recovery really seems positive.

Stow family, I'm sure it must be deeply moving to have Bryan mouth messages to you! I'm very happy for you guys. My wife and I drove past SF General Hospital this past Saturday and Monday, and both times we gave a wave in Bryan's direction and hoped he was having a good day. Looks like he's been having a pretty darn good few days! So hey Bryan, string together a few more days like that if you can... it's getting time for you to have a good WEEK. You've earned it, man.

Hi Bryan and Stow family - thank you guys so much for sharing these special moments with us - baseball fans, Giants fans, Dodgers fans all alike. I can't help but smile with such great news. Sending you guys lots and lots of love from LA.

I'm so happy to hear this news! Love and hugs to you all! Blessings, Anna

Hello Bry and family,
I love the update. This is incredible. I am so happy for Bry and you. This is great news that Bry doing better. I knew he would. It sounds like he is going to be going to rehab in the near future. I have no idea what one is the best for him but please only take him to the best one he so deserve it. He is going to be the come back kid.
I think the best thing for me reading this is that his kids were able to get a kisses and spend time with their dad. That is so important for both the kids and Bry. They are part of his healing team. One day we will all look back and see how far Bry had come. He will me a walking miracles. As always Bry and family will be in my thoughts and prayers!

YAY Bryan and Stow family. I'm cheering for you and always will be.

Awesome news! What a wonderful triumph! Give Bryan a hug from me and know I most definitely "believe." The great(er) day will be any day now when he will become more alert and (hopefully) be able to speak and/or write a note. For now, he is letting you know, he's here and that's all that matters. He loves you and so do all of us virtually. Peace, love, and all wonderful wishes to Bryan and family.

Bryan and Stow family,

What great news!! I can only imagine the feelings of optimism and hope that is running through your family at this time. I think that Bryan's guardian angel Matt is truly helping Byran to find the strength to continue on this road of recovery. I know that this will continue and Bryan will recover from this.

I still believe in Bryan, his recovery and his great family. I pray, hope and believe everyday for Bryan and all of you. I send you all the positives, love and my support for the continuance of this great recovery.

Keep up the great work Bryan!! We love ya.

I'm getting ready to go out of town for 2 weeks and now I can leave knowing that Bryan is still improving each day. Can hardly wait to get back to read more good news. All of us here think of all of you there every single day. Happy belated birthday to Ann - what a special gift to get from Bryan!
With love,

So glad to hear he is responding more. I hope that soon he can find his voice. I imagine if he hasn't spoken in a few months that it takes time to get that back. Someday he will sing again for you. My husband sang for the nurses when he was in the hospital with his head injury. That was when we caught him in a good mood. It sure made up for those awful times when he was fighting us all off. Oh the joys of TBI. There will be some terrible stories and there will be some funny and happy ones. You just have to take it as it comes. Keep up the good work, Bryan!

Such amazing news! Love and prayer will get you where you need to go! I just wish the Giants were doing better for him! UGH! Love and prayer right? Stay well Stow Family and my family and I send lots of prayers your way. We are huge Giants fans as well, and my two daughters 14 1/2 and 12 ask about Bryan just about daily to get his updates! We live in Livermore and send you lots of prayers daily!

Wonderful News ! ! I can imagine how you all feel, when I feel so happy and so grateful to God for this update and the amazing progress Bryan is making.
God continueto bless this family and to keep Your healing hands on Bryan. Thy will be done.........Bryan is fighting this battle with such love, support and commitment from us all---his amazing family is an inspiration to the world. Thanks be to the Stows. Amen

I am so happy to hear the latest update!! We are all here for you Bryan!! Keep up the great progress! xoxo

Happy Birthday to Ann! I hope all of your wishes come true!

And, love and hugs to you all. Thanks for being a bright light and inspiration to so many.

Bryan and Stow family, you are loved!

As John so famously pipes in after the words All you need is love... ALL TOGETHER NOW!!!!!

I could not be more excited for you guys... nor more hopeful and believing that the human spirit, when coming together for something GOOD, is absolutely unstoppable. Bryan, i'm praying for you... every day, as we all are, to keep resting, keep getting better, keep "swinging for the fences". We hope to see you at a game soon! Enjoying life as you should with your amazing family, children, girlfriend, friends and loved ones. You are truly strong and special. Keep at it... never stop! We love you and believe in you and are all rooting for you.

Love IS all you need.

The amazing power of a kiss!! Happy Birthday Ann - I hope Bryan mouthed those special words you've been waiting to hear from him .

Keeping you all in my prayers and sending positive thoughts. God Bless.

In a still small voice Bryan spoke volumes. I am so happy at this news. Rock on, Great Hodge!

So, I've become a pretty lousy penpal lately but that does not at all mean I do not continue to hold you all close. And, as the organizer of Denver's first Bryan Stow Fundraiser, I want you to know I plan to go to Blake Street Tavern within a week to set a date, then I'll let you guys know so you can post it on the calendar. Remember...open invite to stay with Diane and swill a brew at BST!!! Much love to you all from your Mile High City Cheerleader.

I'm so happy to hear the great news that Bryan is responding even more!! Your latest update today brought tears to my eyes. I'll continue to pray for all of you and I know that he's going to continue to improve! God bless and keep all of you--He's not done with Bryan yet.

Happy Birthday Ann. What wonderful news! I have been praying for Bryan and your family since the beginning, and I agree that the LOVE has paid off!

This song reminds me of my own older brother, who passed suddenly in 2008. He was a BIG Beatles fan, all of his young life. I thank you for sharing it here with us! Love is potent! I can tell you that it is what got our family thru too! It may only have 4 letterrs, but LOVE is a BIG STRONG word!

I will contiunue to read your updates each week and continue to light candles daily for Bryan. He is truly our Miracle man! My blessings to you~

Dee Alcala-Callahan- Az.

All you need is love its true! :) :) We pray for you everyday Brian!

I read every update possible and comment when I can.. :) So happy to hear things are getting better! Keep fighting!!! Youre an inspiration to us all Bryan!!!

This is the best news! So happy for Brian and his entire family. Been following closely since the incident, and sending prayers. I'm happy they are being answered. I know he still has a long way to go, but stay positive. The power of love can heal all wounds.

I'm crying.... I'm so happy to read this post! I come to this site DAILY to check for updates!

This is all such wonderful news! I have been following his story since the this all went down. As a loyal Dodger fan I am embarrassed and sadden by the actions that lead to Bryan's situation. But it warms my heart to know that there are more fans like me then the awful people who did this! When you can't go to a baseball game and enjoying routing for their favorite team without feel threatened, there needs to be a change!!! My love, prayers and good vibes are with you Stow family!!! May Brian's road to recovery be swift! He seems to be a strong man with a wonderful family by his side! Armed with that....he is UNSTOPPABLE!!!!!! Thank you for sharing your journey with us! It mist be hard but I admire your courage and strength!!!

Praise to you Lord Jesus Christ for helping to heal Bryan.

Prayers and love still being sent your way.

And Ann, from one Leo to another Happy Birthday.

Keep up the good work Bryan.

What a testament to the power of Prayer and love of a family. I am in tears writing this... I feel some type of connection with Bryan as I am a fan that was there that night at the game. I check this website often and have sent messages before and have prayed for him. I pray that his road to recovery is well on its way. Blessings to you Brian and your family... your courage as a family is undeniably admirable. We are ALL here supporting you in postive thoughts, vibes and/or prayers.

Great news! Hang in there Bryan. I wear your name on my wrist, as does my son, each day. It reminds me to continue to pray for you and your family, and to be grateful for our health. We are baseball fans (Red Sox!) and we wish you the joy of watching your team as we conclude the season. Peace and blessings to family and friends.

Bryan you are one strong dude! I send my love to you and yours. From one baseball fan to another, you know when you get back on your feet you're gonna be throwin out the first pitch!!! What a great day that'll be, I can't wait!! Keep goin at this thing hard, you've got a lot of love comin your way.

Bryan.. You have a AWESOME FAMILY!! It is so wonderful to hear these updates on how you are making improvements! All you need is love♥ ♪♪♫♫ Thinking of you from Thornton, Colorado...

Such wonderful news that Bryan is continuing to progress in a positive way, and to his family....hang in there, NEVER GIVE UP and never stop believing in the power of love, strength and commitment. Much love from Forest Ranch, CA

I've been following this blog since i first herd about what happened, Bryan is so lucky to have his wonderful family and thanks for keeping us all updated as we all pray for a full recovery! Keep going Bryan your doing great! Hes beaten so many odds thus far..

So VERY happy to hear all of your family's wonderful progress!! I have been following your blog since it started, and it warms my heart to hear of the healing that is taking place with Brian. I will never forget when you said on TV, "we know we aren't bringing home the same Brian". I am so happy that this is seeming not to be the case. I know there is much healing and recovering ahead, but just knowing that he is awake, aware, moving all of his limbs, talking and kissing you is proof that God is good and that Brian is not going to let evil win this time. God bless you all and keep posting good news!

My heart is full of prayers of thanksgiving for Bryan's progress!!!

Love and prayers continue!...Deb

As a sister of two older brothers whom I love & adore immensely (one named Bryan), a mother to a little boy who has my heart wrapped around his finger and the wife of a firefighter/paramedic, it's incomprehensible to imagine what Bryan and each of you has been fighting through because of someone's senseless actions. A scary thought for ANY of us in today's society.

Nonetheless, your unshakable love, devotion, humor and hope displayed in sharing your visits with Bryan has inspired me, along with the rest of the country. Thank you for the reminder of how precious life is, how important family is, and how amazing the power of prayer can be. I imagine it's incredibly difficult every single day, yet through your posts you allow us to share the heart-warming triumphs of progress.

I will continue praying for each of you, and I look forward to the day Bryan is able to "chapstick-up" on his own and lay a big wet one on each of you. God bless all of you.

I'm so happy to read your wonderfully encouraging update! How thrilling! And it was a good pick-me-up for me personally, because I was just reading news accounts of yesterday's fan-on-fan violence at Candlestick. So sad and troubling. Give Bryan a kiss from all of us rooting for him!

Happened to see this website on the news page today about the shooting at the 49er's game last night. (what is going on in this world????) . I have thought so many times about you and your family and the horror of the entire situation. I will follow this page now that I know it exist and will continue to keep you all in my prayers. I am thrilled to see that you are able to communicate somewhat and God is making you well. Continue on that road...., I can't wait until I pull up this site & read you are going home. with hugs from Florida, Donna

Brian,
I pray that you will continue to get stronger and better every day. I send out positive ocean energy in every wave that breaks on the shore may your body heal and recover with the grace of Mother Earth, and the power of Gods will may your doctors work nurture you within Gods white light and miracles. You are a gifted
heroic man Brian, you will walk along the shores of Capitola with your family hand in hand, I just believe in YOU! Lapis Lazuli Stones are very healing stones, as is amythest too. I will send you some. My prayers and positive thoughts go out to you and your family. Butterfly kisses and ladybug hugs I send to you and yours
now and forever.
Through him, with him, in him,
Shelly Taylor
