CurlyGeorge Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 God Bless You Deb and Frosty. Metalmangeler, Keep checking on him. There aren't many like him around!! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RcRacer Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 I check here and pray for Frosty every day. Hearing about his daily gains just shows how powerful collective prayers and thoughts are. I know because they worked for me when I needed them last year after my stroke and now they are working for him. My most sincere wishes go to Frosty for a speedy recovery and to his family for the strength to get through this ordeal. Everybody, keep the thoughts and prayers going.

dlpierson Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Great news! I too check and pray for Frosty every day. May his recovery continue and two of you have many more happy years together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
divermike Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 I have a son who had a major brain trauma incident, the doctors were wrong every step of the way, he has come so much farther than they wanted us to think he could. Frosty will keep getting better, and over time, the brain will attache areas, or bypass damaged areas, and he will continue to improve. It is so good to hear he is re-establishing cognitive function, and actually, really fast, although it must seem like an eternity for De. Our son continued to improve for 4 years! Go Frosty!!

Ferrous Beuler Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Yikes !!! Prayers for Frostie !!! It has been awhile since I logged on here and now that I take a look I find one of my old stalwart favorites has had a major setback in life. Frosty my brother we all love you. Always the sharpest knife in the drawer, always the most humorous in the wordgame and led the story keeping the rest of us chasing you. Very good to hear you are doing well. IFI without Frostie would be like a shop with no anvil and no fire... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David E. Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 I log onto IFI most days and yet have missed this horrible news until now, I have read through all the posts which have become more and more encouraging. It must have been horrendous for Deb and everyone close. When he gets better and reads this he will see just how much affection he is held in by everyone else who only has cyber contact with him,get better soon Frosty David.

Conrad Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 I'm just a very infrequent lurker (until my forge is done, then I'll spam this place to death!), but Frosty was someone I noticed from the moment I first looked on here. I wish him all the best, and a speedy recovery! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metalmangeler Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 From the face book acct. it looks like he has been able to move into the restroom with a walker and some assistance, to do his thing. This is some big improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ioldanach Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Forwarded: De Frost: Frosty ate almost 2/3rds of his lunch today ...and even better - seriously - around mid-afternoon, HE WAS HUNGRY AND ASKED FOR A SNACK. I found some pudding ... and he ate the whole thing. Now we are waiting for dinner and he is IMPATIENTLY waiting for it. What a turnaround in 24 hours. More prayers answered. Keep it up! Dinner for Frosty was spaghetti with yellow zucchini and a side of fresh fruit. He didn't *recognize* the spaghetti (couldn't come up with the name) but liked the smell and taste - especially of the meat sauce. He ate nearly half his dinner, which is a good improvement over ANY day yet so a solid step forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dare anyone to figure out what their eating in a hospital :D Kidding aside, it's great to hear about his progress and we will keep praying.

CBrann Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Frosty is lucky, when my Dad was recovering from his brain tumor surgery, they fed him pureed stuff.... have you ever seen pureed meat loaf.. or pot roast.... or string beans? it has a little more texture than baby food.... or pureed spaghetti.. WHO DOES THAT???? On the up side he had lost a lot of the memory of what food was like so it worked out ok... after a couple of months he went back to regular food... but it was interesting the number of things that can be served pureed.... keep the healing going...

ioldanach Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Forwarded from late yesterday: De Frost: Hey all! It's only mid-day but I wanted to send THIS update ASAP. Frosty's doctor appt. went well today. The x-rays of his neck were clear (the neck brace is history!), the CAT scan shows healing/healed of the original injuries and the neurologist has cleared him - no more visits necessary unless something new pops up. I *think* this means we move on to serious rehab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
