BSCC- *****HAPPY THANKSGIVING*****

[C. Raia]

I just got off the phone with Kevin, and he gave me permission to send out
an update. He had the stroke on Monday; it came on gradually as he was
driving home from seeing a client, but by the time he got into his driveway
it had progressed to the point where he collapsed getting out of his car.
Fortunately, his cell phone was within reach and he could dial 911. The
ambulance took him to Jordan Hospital which consulted with neurologists at
Mass. General, and they determined he was a good candidate for the
clot-busting drug TPA, and he was still within the 3-hour window when it
can be administered. He still has some paralysis on his right side but the
docs are hopeful he'll make a full recovery within 2-3 months. He may be
discharged in the next couple of days.  He won't be able to drive for 2-3
months but is setting up things to work from home. At this point he's using
a walker but already started physical therapy.  He's very tired and wiped
out, naturally, but sounds in good spirits and grateful for the timely
medical help.

So send out your prayers and best wishes for his complete recovery before
spring, and let's consider this one more thing we all have to be grateful
for on Thanksgiving!
