It is good to report to you that Bob is doing very well this morning. He got thru the deepbrain stimulation surgeryyesterdayvery well. A secondMRI this morningindicatedthat everythingwas in place and looked good. He will transferto the stepdown unit Rm. 843 in an hour or so. We think he will stayherefor a week or so to get somephysicaltherapyandrehab,but right now we aren'tsure. If no! we wilt comehomeandhavetherapythere. Anyhoq we ar€pleasedwith the outcomeof the surgeryso far. He had very little tremorson either sidenow and after the secondconductoris in placeand operatinghe shouldhaveno fiemors. We arevery optimistic and excitedabouthis recoveryand ability to live a morenormal life now. Thanksfor all your concemandprayers- we know it help so much. DearFamilyand Friends:

As you all know,Bobhadanotherdeepbrainstimulationsurgeryon July 17th. The surgeryseemedto go well. On July 25ththe transmitterwas implantedin his chestand on July26thhe was releasedfrom Rush in Chicago.He camehomeverytiredand inactive,unableto walkmuchevenwitha walkerandtwo people just couldntwake depressed, helpinghim,did notwantto eat or evenparticipatein life. Notnecessairly up. We thoughthis conditionwas a resultof the anesthetic,but hejust didnt seemto get better. He never left the house- actuallywasn'tableto. On Aug.8thwe got himbackto Rushto seethe surgeonwho we take himto our familyphysician.So, on Aug. 10thwe wereableto g€*an recommended appointment with our Intemest- he was immediately admittedto CopleyHospitalthat dayfor evaluation.In the first two hourstheretheytook5 leadersof urineout of him- Hewas in completerenalfailurewitha creatineof 10.9. Aftera few dayein the Intermediate CareUnit,he got alotbetter. Of course,he wason a foleycatheter the entiretime. The creatinecamedownto 1.8,but the brainno longertoldthe bladderwhatto do t0 releasethe urine. lt lookslike he has a nerogenicbladder.Theyhavetriedto removethe catheter several times,but end up havingto put it backin eveffime. Throughallthis he hastransfenedto the rehabunit at Copleyto get someintensephysicaltherapy.He hateseveryminuteof it, but he is strongerand brighter with than I haveseenhim in quiteawhile.The plantonightieto releasehimfromthe hospitalThursday a catheter.lf thingsdon'tget better,we will probablygo to MayoClinicfor anotheropinion.OnAug.30th he has an appointment withthe MovementDisorderCenterat Rushto havethe transmittertumedon that was implantedJuly 25th. Thetremop are reallyundercontrolnowand shouldbe evenbetterwhenthey finetunethe newtransmitter.Thefirct surgeryandtransmitterfor the rightsideof his bodyhasdonea wonderfuljobfor him andwe thinkthe left sidewill do urefltoo. So,that is whereureere rightnor...... I can'twaiteto havehim homefromthe hospital.We haveremodeledhis bedroomand a halfbath making it one big full bath/beclroom. The roomshouldbe doneby sometimenextweek. I thinkit will be very convenientand accessiblefor Bobto get aroundin. So, I leaveyouwiththis thought NeverLie,Cheat,or Steal! But if you haveto, Steala kiss,CheatDeath,and Ue nextto the one you Love. Sharon

Subjecfi Re: ifs almostreuniontime... From: "Sue Hamilton" <[email protected]) Date: Sun,26 Ang2ffil 20:.223A-0400 Tor "robert kalan" Hi

Bob. Audrey and Dan As far as our weather here, it would be nice to have some of the rai.n everyone else is having. I'ile are in a drought and everything is so dry, that I doubt we will have much color to the leaves this All of the floodinq fall. has been in the part northern of the state.The leaves are turning brown and falling off already, and unlesa we get rain soon it may not be a pretty time here.We have had past week of 100 plus degrees, temperatures this but it is supposed to get better this week. I have just about qot everythinE finalized, and looking forward in October. I think we are qoing to have a pretty good turn out healthy. T am sorry to hear Dan is having problems, and f wish

to seeing everyone if everyone stays him the best.

r forgot to mention the binqo prizes before, so be sure to remind everyone to bring them if possible. AIso the auction items, and any raffle items. ff we are going to have any sifent auction things, be sure to mention that also. T{e will be able to display al"l the auction items in the hospitality room the whol-e time, so we can make up our minds about what it is we just canrt live without ahead of time I have been staying in touch with the Hills, and Bi]l seens to be doing good. He may have gone home over this weekend, and I know we all wish him a speedy recovery. They are planning on being here and I know speaking for myself and evef,yone else ft just wouldn't be the sarne without them. Several of our other meribers have some healtb issues a1so, but are pfanning on coming ,and I certaj"nly appreciate all the positive responses I have received. If there is anything f have rnissed, or any thing else I can do for anyone to make it easier for them, donrt hesitate to contact me. I look forward to seeinq all our regulars as welJ as any new faces we miqht have. Stay well! Stay safe! See you soon. Sue Al}en Hamilton Ph# 513 398 0713
