RE: [ST] Bob Nixon Update



I still haven't seen a post divulging the Hospital address so people can send cards/flowers or visit.

Good news...

Diane called today.  Bob's condition has improved significantly.  Most of
the convulsions and lapses of consciousness were attributable to a
medication.  He has ceased taking the medication, and the symptoms have
diminished greatly.

He is still suffering from brain swelling.  This will likely decrease over
several months as brain swelling sticks around much longer than something
like a swollen ankle.  However, there does not appear to be anymore active
bleeding of the brain.

He is very lucid, but still quite "scattered".  Very forgetful and still
has trouble remembering why he's in the hospital, but he is steadily more
accepting each time he has to be re-told.

On the crazy side, he actually called Mike Gleason.  He was worried Mike
wouldn't remember who HE is.  He said he was in the hospital, and he wanted
to meet somewhere... likely a ploy to escape from the hospital.  Billie
spoke with Mike and very stealthily indicated that Bob would likely be in
the hospital for another month.  Mike will go to see him tomorrow.  It will
be even better news if Bob remembers he's coming! ;-)

This sure sounds like good news.  It looks like the medication was
contributing significantly to the struggles and perception of a poor
prospect of recovery.
