JHCC Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Please say a word for my friend Dave, who suffered a stroke while on a business trip in Colorado (he lives in Boston). His husband Eric is with him and the prospects for recovery look good, but prayers appreciated nonetheless. Dave is one of the smartest, most compassionate, and insightful people I know, and the thought of what this might do to his brain is just a bit much right now.

JHCC Posted December 11, 2017 Author Share Posted December 11, 2017 An update: there isn’t much to report. He continues to be in the ICU in Colorado. The prognosis is optimistic, but its timeline is unclear. Right now Eric is trying to figure out whether he’d be able to be transported back to Boston, or would have to enter a rehab in CO. Please continue to pray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 It's pretty early yet John and modern medicine has made huge improvements in stroke and TBI since I took one. We're still speaking to higher on Dave and family's behalf. Heck we might not stop when you tell us we can. We're like that you know. Frosty The Lucky.

JHCC Posted March 27, 2018 Author Share Posted March 27, 2018 Long-overdue update: Dave is back in Boston and has been bouncing back and forth between hospitals and rehab places, generally improving, but slowly. He is scheduled for surgery tomorrow to remove a kidney stone that had caused problems with urinary tract infections, so additional prayers would be timely.

Frosty Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Glad to hear it John, this is one of those conditions that saying, "This too will pass," isn't very reassuring. Give him my best. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidF Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Thoughts and prayers from my family to Dave and Eric. The healing from community and social ties are the strongest X factor in these times. Hopefully being back home and surrounded by loved ones helps Dave to recover fully. Best wishes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHCC Posted March 29, 2018 Author Share Posted March 29, 2018 Eric just posted on CaringBridge that Dave is home! Many challenges await, but things for now are good. In other news, after many, many years of Zen practice, Dave had his jukai ceremony last Sunday. (Left to right: Josh Bartok, Roshi; Kate Hartland, Sensei; Dharma Holder Rev.
