Hi folks,
Dennis had a good visit from a couple of old friends today and many more coming this weekend. He has been up in a chair twice today and has tolerated this well. They will be moving him on to the ward again once a bed becomes available.
His CT scan of the head showed no abnormalities. They feel his memory loss is related the the trauma and stress he has undergone over the last 6 weeks. As further healing occurs with some brain retraining/rehab all should come back to normal. Yippee!!
As for his legs ... He is experiencing pain and limited strength in both legs now but continues to have less functioning in the right leg. PT and OT are working with him extensively to get his mobility back. He has some nerve damage to the right leg. With time and lots of rehab, this should all come back to normal too.
And as for his left arm ... yes, time and rehab should do the trick.
Prognosis is positive - no longer just 'wait and see' - it's time to exercise and rehabilitate.

dennis, i know the medical staff over at the ICU may be nice and cute but gotta let them go and move onto the ward and not look back. :) looking forward to seeing you soon.
Fabulous, wonderful, inspiring, uplifting...! Great news Dennis and Eunice!
I visited a place called Miracle Beach this past weekend, and though it rained and no miracles were apparent there.. I hoped and stated that perhaps there would be miracles elsewhere. Clearly there were. So so so glad to hear things are going well- channel this into the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.. we're all behind you!!

Such a blessing to read the good news. Thank you Eunice so much for keeping us informed through the good and the not so good over these past six weeks! And you Dennis - Thank you so much for being such a shining star to all of us. Each of us has had our battles brought down to size by your courageous fight through all of this! May God continue to richly bless you in all good things!!! Jeff N
