We're so excited about Sean's progress this morning. A friend gave him a baseball cap this weekend and he had his cap on this morning like he was ready to go! He recognized his dad from about 30feet away. He's doing really well. Thanks for all your support and prayers. Thanks, also, for the blood drive, which was better than predicted. Sean has some great friends!

WELCOME HOME SEAN!...WE'VE MISSED YOU!!
The rehabilitation hospital could only keep Sean, their star patient, for eight days.
On June 12, he was released, and one of the first places he stopped was the Burleson Police Department. Sean's police family welcomed him with a cake, a party and plenty of hugs.
Since then, he has been seeing more doctors than he cares to see. But, today (July 1) Sean was back at work handling the administrative part of supervising the traffic unit and working with the City's red light camera program. Sgt. Sean Bolton will be back on the streets, on his motorcycle, in the fall.
If you had any doubts about his will to survive, all you have to do is look at him. He's back, in every way, thanks to his stubborn, hard-headed, can't-keep-him-down attitude!
Thanks to everyone for the endless prayers, the cards, and the incredible support. In his own words, this has “damn sure been a life-changing experience.”
