Wow!! I am in Florida and have been following his updates…I can’t believe how well he looks! Rocky is a badass! Going home so soon after being shot twice and he is just bouncing around like nothing happened. Thank you to everyone that put their hearts and souls into saving his life. Now, go home and get that family love that has been waiting for you. I think you are going to be having a welcome home party and a lot of visitors!❤❤❤
