On November 17, 2024, our dear loved one, friend and colleague to so many, Cullan Bryant, suffered an ischemic stroke. The doctors have said he is stable at the moment, but he is being monitored and continually assessed in the neurological ICU.
He is cognitive and in the midst of this is still asking for coffee! He had his nurse riveted by stories last night about his artistic life.
In addition to being bed ridden, Cullan has partial paralysis of his right arm, which we are deeply hopeful will return with physical therapy and treatment.
