Sean Update 12/13/10

Sean and the entire Nemazie family would like to wish everyone Happy Holidays!

We would like to thank Don Demkovitz and the Board of Robbinsville Basketball Association for their continued efforts at fundraising on Sean’s behalf. Last weekend, RBA set up tables at each of its venues to collect donations for Sean. As always, the Robbinsville community came through. Don delivered over $2,000 to the Nemazie family! Thanks again to RBA and to all who donated. It is truly heartwarming to witness the tireless support that has been given to Sean and the Nemazie's. Whether it has been in the form of donations, deeds, or just well wishing, it has provided Frank and Kathy the tools to help Sean as best they can.

Sean has had a good month. He has fully recovered from surgery he underwent in late October. Time has shown that the surgery was a success and doctors have seen a noted improvement in Sean’s mobility and his ability to speak. Sean is able to play video games as a therapy for hand eye coordination. This is a skill he would not been able to do just a month ago. I am still fairly certain he couldn’t beat me in Mario Baseball but who can. He has also spent more time walking…still with help…but getting better all the time.

This past weekend, Sean had a visit from his buddies from University of Delaware. They are a great group of young men with great outlook on life. It is easy to see why Sean connected with them. He thoroughly enjoyed their visit. Come back soon guys.

This has been a very difficult year to say the least. Thanks to all of you for being there for Sean, Frank, Kathy, and Timmy. When we all look back on where Sean was almost a year ago to where he is now, it is truly amazing. Sean is an inspiration and we are so grateful to have him in our lives. Enjoy the holidays!

More to come in 2011…..Steve
