Thank You Glenn for the update! I am going to try and get over there as soon as i can to see Deb and Frosty. But so far weather against me, am still on foot here, and it has been wet here latly/Selden

I'm very glad to hear things are getting better and that they can put a time line on recovery of sorts. - Deb/Frosty - Stay strong - we're all thinking of you and hope for a speedy recovery. JK

Forwarding some comments De made on her facebook:

De Frost
They took Frosty back to surgery again today - this time to replace the feeding tube in his nose (which he just hates anyway) with a better one (safer and not as iritating) in his abdomen. It took a lot longer today than I had been told, so I've been on pins and needles.

De Frost Jer is back in his room and seems more comfortable for now. While doing the latest (small) procedure, they discovered that he had aspirated some of his liquid "nutritional drip" into his lungs sometime over the past few days (likely the reason for his labored breathing ). Bad news.

But at least they found it and are taking steps to avoid pneumonia. More prayers please! They have him on antibiotics again - and have put him back on all the monitors (breathing, heart rate, blood pressure, etc.). He is still in PCU, which is good. I like their level of attention and people per patient ratio overall better.

De Frost I talked to the head neurosurgeon today and he reassured me that there IS some improvement. The initial contusion is resolving slowly and he says the swelling IS subsiding ... it is going to happen slowly, over time. Up and down. Good days and bad.

De Frost They have begun bringing up the discussion of where Frosty will need to be transferred to ... next. St. Elias Hospital/Rehab is our "1st choice", I think. My sis Julie and I are going to drive over there (and the 2nd option as well) and check them out in person. The responsiblity for these decisions is heavy. Jer's FUTURE - how he lives it - could hinge on these rehab care choices.

De Frost Yes - it is definitely our first option if we can get him in there. 2nd choice isn't bad either though - they do have a good in-patient rehab facility at Providence Hospital. I'm not as comfortable with the 3rd choice, but am not going to "look for trouble" that may never happen. Enough for now.

Glenn and ioldanach, thanks for the updates. GREAT to hear that there is improvment!! Deb And Jer, you are still in our thoughts and prayers.
George and Kathy

Thanks to all for the updates. Glad to hear of Frosty's improvements. Prayers continue for both Frosty and Deb.

Good to hear that Frosty is progressing down the pathe to beeing well. Sorry to hear he will be laid up so long. My best wishes for as speedy a recovery as possible. Milt

To Jerry from another Jerry--pain hurts-Prayer works!! It has for me. We are Praying for a full recovery for you. God is good!

Prayers and Thoughts sent for a speedy recovery....

This is truely a great thing that Frosty is making a recovery. I hope the road ahead of him is a good one.

Deb's sister Julie posted the latest installment on Facebook because Deb does not have Internet access where she is staying. Frosty is now at St Elias in a room across from the nurses' station. Julie said, "Thanks also to all of Jer's friends across the country for being there for them both!"

Great, they got their first choice. Hope that helps a lot.

I believe Frosty was the first one to welcome me here. I am not a religious man but wish he and his family my strength.

Orgtwister: Frosty has made a serious impact on an amazing number of people, myself included, by his consistent kindness and by being a good example of what we should strive to be. While it is painful to see bad things happen to others, it is especially heart-wrenching to see ill-fortune happen to those we have in our lives that consistently demonstrate goodness. :(

According to Deb's posting on Facebook, "all the notes and jokes and prayers ARE working I've been reading them to Jer and I think he's beginning to understand it some. We'll get there. Hugs to all and to all a good (peaceful) night,-Deb (and Jer)" :D

Didn't he just get back to work and then to have this happen. Well he is a tough old bird and with a will to get better and prayer I'm sure that he'll be back posting here. Will be good therapy for him to be communicating with us again. God's speed to you Frosty.

Get well soon frosty , hot coals

Good to hear so many positive reports about Frosty's condition. As Jerry Carroll said in an earlier post, Prayer works!

All the Best

I would sure like to get some current information on Frosty. Anyone know where to get such?

I am always a day late and a dollar short. I just found out about my hero Frosty. Please add my wishs and prayers for a speedy and total recovery. My heart is out to you too Deb!

I don't get anything searching on "De Frost" at Facebook. Well, I am now friends with "de Briana Frost" Hot!

I found De Frost, in Alaska, don't know how to get the right one on here.....

Could someone with the correct De Frost view the profile and copy/paste the address so that people on IFI can get to it.

While I suggest this I also don't want to overwhelm, so it may be better to get permission first.

I trolled this up with face book. Wish I knew better how it works but there you go. I too was anxious for news on the big fellas progress.

I was concerned about privacy but this is public domain stuff. I haven't tried to contact deb or add anything to her page but at least I got an ieea of where Frosty is at currently.
