STITCHES OUT -- STAPLES OUT !!!!

DOESN'T HE LOOK GREAT !!???!!!!
Ken has gone from this:
TO THIS:
Only 15 days after his DBS surgery (and they Re-Opened those incisions 10 days ago when they implanted the neurostimulator!!)
Isn't the body an amazing instrument --- it boggles our minds !! And medical science is even more of a mystery..... and we're thankful for every medical miracle!!
Ken is doing GREAT!!!! We've been pretty quiet over the holiday - what with a trip to Stanford the day before Thanksgiving -- and he gets tired more quickly than usual, but that's normal after any kind of surgery. His Docs gave him a 'thumbs-up' on Wednesday --- so now we just wait till Dec 14/15, when he returns to Stanford for his first neuro-stimulator programming --- HE CAN'T WAIT!!!

  4. Hi Ken:

    Read your complete story on "Wired." What a journey you and your loved ones have been on. How great it is to hear of the exceptional progress you have made. What a joy it must have been to have been able to tap your fingers at a pace of your choice!

    I'm proud to be the friend of a person who knows all things are possable with the help of GOD.
