What is Will reading?
Dear Blackhurst family-
I just found out today about all you have been through. I was a classmate of Will's at Ohio State and am now in Indiana doing residency. I hadn't heard anything until now. My heart goes out to your family. I am so glad that things are progressing well. Our family's thoughts and prayers are with you. Best of luck Will in your recovery!
Sincerely,
Ben Williams and family

Thanks for the blog, it's great to see the progress.
I am one of Will's classmates from OSU and just finished a year at Riverside--we even had some micro classes together at BYU. Today I heard the news about Will and went through the shock and sorrow of the situation. Thank you for publishing this blog which has given me much more hope than I had. Will is a fantastic guy and a fighter. We will pray for him.
I just recently heard about what happened with Will. I lived in Ohio with him for a few years. I am in Utah now and it is so good to hear about is progress and the things that are happening. Good luck with everything.
