tech413 Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 I have been away from this board for quite some time and I come back to news like this!!! It saddens me greatly to hear about Frosty, he is a great fixture here and I'm sure there has been a hole in his absence. I'm glad to hear that he's recovering. All the best and a speedy recovery Frosty. Hang in there Deb. Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsiler Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 For awhile now I've been thinking something was just not right ( I mean bsides all the work that is been done on the upgrade). Just yesterday it dawned on me that I haven't seen a post from Frosty in sometime. Kinda had cold chills. Then just a few minutes ago I saw this. Frosty, with all the prayers you have been getting God can't help but to fix you (good as new or maybe even better). God bless you both. Take care of him Deb.

David Einhorn Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Explanation of cognitive evaluations: http://rancho.org/patient_education/bi_cognition.pdf Frosty was evaluated today as likely at "level 5". So he has progressed from level 2 to level 5 in one week. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlpierson Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Thanks for keeping us up to date on this! It's very good to hear the progress that Frosty is making. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bentiron1946 Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Well I guess I had better be praying for level 7 or 8 to come quickly. Must be hard on Deb so will be praying for her to have perseverance to get through this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Parker Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Frosty has proven to be both a mentor and friend to many of us. We are all pulling for him and wish him a complete recovery and a return to the group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Posted October 23, 2009 Author Share Posted October 23, 2009 I spoke with Deb tonight and she said that Frosty is coming along and to watch her face book for the most recent information. I could hear Frosty in the background saying that he wanted someone to take the boot off his foot (meaning the cast) as he did not know why he had only one boot on. You may send cards, letters etc to Frosty at Jerry Frost Room 109 St. Elias Specialty Hospital. 4800 Cordova Street Anchorage, AK 99503 Deb thanks you each and every one for your thoughts and your prayers. She says that Frosty will be at St. Elias for a good while during recovery and to please keep him in your thoughts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Einhorn Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 (edited) Here is an old photograph of Frosty, and Deb's Facebook page. However to access it and other information about Frosty, you will need to be signed in on Facebook, and you will very likely need to add De Frost as a Friend on Facebook.Frosty on Facebook To find Deb's Facebook page, you will likely need to add Alaska to your search. I could not find her Facebook page until I searched on Alaska. . . Edited October 24, 2009 by UnicornForge clarification Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metalmangeler Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 I went into Anchorage last night to visit Frosty I was somewhat discouraged, Deb was not there at the time, but today I talked to a friend who had seen him about 3 weeks ago and again yesterday she was very encouraged so I understand that there has been much improvement. Please keep praying for both Deb and Frosty. I am sure that they both need it. I will be a vendor at a show in Anc. in Nov. and again in Dec. so I will be sure to stop in to see him then, maybe beween times as well. It is good to hear that he swallowed.

arftist Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Frosty was out of bed today in a wheelchair, taken outside to pet his dog, whom he recogized,called by name, and scolded for jumping up. Frosty is making progress! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
divermike Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 somebody needs to get his favorite hammer, and bring it to the facility, maybe an anvil as well, just the sound of the two together might make the difference, can't let a little injury get in the way of a life long addiction!!

ioldanach Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 De Frost: FROSTY SAYS (YES, I DO MEAN "FROSTY SAYS") TO SAY "HI" TO EVERYONE! Oh, my GOD ... as of this morning, although he is still very confused and needs to be reminded over and over - HE IS OUR FROSTY AGAIN! I'M SERIOUS ... there are huge gaps still (expected), but he Frosty is LUCID. Please everyone pray he stays this way. He doesn't remember lots of names, places, etc., he isn't sure what town he's in or what year it is ... but he remembers events leading up to the accident (not the accident itself). He can't stand yet, but that too is normal after a month of bed rest. He KNOWS that he can't remember stuff. He cried when I told him how Libby and Abby had helped me find him. HE HUGGED ME and told me how sorry he was that he must have frightened me so much. Oh God ... prayers DO work. Our Frosty may still have a long road to recovery, but he IS going to recover ... there may be some permanent or at least long-term issues to cope with - but he IS coming BACK!
