Buffalo, NY (WBEN) The attorney for Martin Gugino issued another statement on his condition Thursday. She says Gugino is improving.

"He reports that he is feeling better than yesterday," says Kelly Zarcone. "He is starting physical therapy today which is definitely a step in the right direction."

Zarcone adds, "As most of you know, Martin is a soft spoken but thoughtful and principled man. As heartbreaking as it is, his brain is injured and he is well aware of that now. Because of this, he told me that he is not interested in media interviews right now."

Zarcone notes Gugino feels encouraged and uplifted by the outpouring of support which he has received from all over the world. "He is looking forward to healing and determining what his “new normal” might look like." says Zarcone.
