Beaten Giants Fan Making Significant Strides
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- Doctors for a San Francisco Giants fan who was severely beaten outside Dodger Stadium say he has made significant improvement despite a series of ups and downs since the March attack.
In a progress report Monday, the chief of neurosurgery at San Francisco General Hospital confirmed accounts by Bryan Stow's family that he's been able to follow some commands and interact with loved ones.
However, Dr. Geoff Manley says it's still unclear how far Stow's recovery will take him.
Stow suffered severe brain injury when he was attacked after the Dodgers' home opener against the Giants.
Manley says Stow is responding well to surgery last week to replace a missing skull fragment. He remains in serious condition.
