According to further updates from his aunt, Bridger seems to be making nice growth in his recovery. He has had some of his stitches got rid of and while he can’t blow their own horns a huge smile moderately yet, he was obviously elated to pay attention from a few of his favourite celebrities, including Chris Evans (who is sending Bridger an professional Captain America shield) and Tom Holland (who invited him to seek advice from the set of the subsequent Spider-Man movie). Bridger is actually a hero, and we wish him the best in his recovery.
