We've got a very encouraging update from the deadly terror attack in DC last month where two guardsmen were shot by an illegal Afghan "refugee."

Guardsman Sarah Beckstrom sadly passed away shortly after the attack. But fellow Guardsman Andrew Wolfe is making huge improvements in his recovery at MedStar in DC.

Yes, this is great news. Here's more from CBS:

'He is now breathing on his own and can stand with assistance β€” important milestones that reflect his strength and determination,' his neurosurgeon, Jeffrey Mai, said in the statement.

His medical team said Friday that Wolfe is ready to transition from acute care to inpatient rehabilitation based on his recent improvements.

That's absolutely awesome to read.

This could have been so much worse.

Wolfe's rehabilitation location was not disclosed at his family's request. Wolfe's family thanked the medical staff, doctors and nurses who cared for their son throughout his stay. The family said in a statement that the care 'has been remarkable, and they have told us Andy's progress is miraculous.' ...

'We know he will continue to improve at a rapid pace and know your prayers are making the difference. Please continue as God heals Andrew and gives him the strength to return to work, the West Virginia National Guard, and his new mission of being a light into this world,' the family said in a statement.

Our continued prayers for Andrew Wolfe and his family during his recovery.
