# UPDATE 6/2 1:00am/et: Jerry Nadeau continues to make spectacular progress in his recovery from a serious head injury in a crash at Richmond May 2. On Saturday, Nadeau was in the swimming pool at the Charlotte rehab hospital where he's been for several days. 'He's doing phenomenal,' says Jay Frye, Nadeau's team manager, who has visited his driver two or three times a week since the accident. 'It's really remarkable the recovery he's made, as quickly as he's making it. His speech is clear, and so is his thinking. He's calling us almost every day to talk about things. Saturday he went swimming, which was a huge hurdle. That's the next step. Every day he's making a stride to the next step. There is no timetable for his return or anything like that. We're just very optimistic about how his recovery is going. His therapy is working, and they're working him very hard. He's doing physical, recreational, occupational and speech, and he is very motivated. I was there Tuesday -- it was really neat to see him so eager. His next therapy was at 1 o'clock, and it was 1:05 and he was at the door anxious to get with it. I asked him about going home and doing it on an outpatient basis, but he said, 'It's working' just like this." 'The only thing they're worried about is he might reach a plateau for a while and become frustrated.'(Winston Salem Journal)(6-2-2003)
