I just got back this weekend from Northern California, where my brother (age 50) had under gone emergency brain surgery(bleeding on the brain). He is in stable condition in ICU. It is going to be a while before we know if he can walk and talk again. To complicate matters he has Prader Willi Syndrome. It is a form mental retardation with emotional problems. My family was blessed to fine a group home in N. Cali that is specifically for this kind of person. He has been truly happy there for the last 16 years. We would hate to have to find a new facility that could deal with him if he was bed ridden. Sorry for the rambling. Here is a link below that explaines his condition for the curious.
