Its extremely tough. It has changed our lives completely.Day-by-day for Sean from the start was very hard as we didnt know what road we were going down.Thankfully, since October, when Sean moved out to the National Rehabilitation Centre here in Dublin he has come on a lot.Hes getting the right rehab and the right facilities are there for him.Theres a long, long journey ahead and it is a massive struggle.“The progress is slow and sometimes cruelly slow.
