heard from Helen who said that he was able to move only toes and fingers
slightly.
He does recognize his family. Apparently it happened in the anterior
communicating
artery of the brain. The prognosis is day by day and is guarded (grave).
From what I could read on the brain it affects the complex movements of the
limbs(writing) and some speech, urinary functions, thought processes and
behavior. I don't consider myself anywheres near a doc but I did do a little
research after she told me the area. Many (50%) patients have a secondary
episode within the first two weeks or up to 6 months. Of those that have the
second (over half die). Aneurisms (cerebral hemmorages)seem to be more
difficult to treat. Mike's father and brother are both deceased due to
cardiovascular disease. Makes you wonder if it it congenital.
Hope this helps......if you find out anything let me know.

Hey....don't quote me on the medical.....my texts here are over 5 years old.
He is in HUP at Philadelphia in ICU. May remain there for several weeks. No
one can send anything yet according to the staff nurse. His wife has asked
that people not call the house......because she has been flooded with phone
calls. She will call me to dissemminate infomation on his condition as it
changes. Helen is so very thankful for all who have supported and continue
to support her though this ordeal that she is at lost for words. She was
heartily overwelmed by the response. She told Mike when he was awake that we
were all thinking of him....the crew from foley along with jpc...and he
smiled. He can not vocalize yet due to tubes. They do not know the extent of
neurological damage. They are concentrating now on just recovery from the
surgery. Joann, Ruth and I are thinking about getting together in Philly
when he gets out of ICU and having a reunion. Probably in two weeks. I am
paying for one hotel room. If anyone is interested....let me know. would
love to see ya! I have to leave W virginia and start the St Louis project
March 15....so it has to be before that!

Thank you for the post to hist. The only news I have heard confirmed was
that is was a brain aneurism and he did have surgery. He was conscious for a
brief period yesterday. they will not know the extent of the damage, I
imagine, until a week goes by. If one survives an aneurism then they are
even luckier to survive the surgery according to the medical texts ive beefed
on. And it seems that neurological damage is almost inevitable since the
suction used to take the blood away from cerebral matter takes cerebral
matter as well. If you here anything, please send it our way.
We are the old Foley square crew. John......
