This just in from Shea:

He's awake but still in very critical condition. Please keep praying.  The doctors warned us that there is still a chance he might not make it. They also believe he lost about 40% of his eye sight and 50% of his hearing making him both legally blind and deaf. They said with glasses he may be able to drive but that is still undetermined,  but we can work on that. We're just glad he's alright.

please update everyone

Shea

The very fact that he awoke from his coma, with bacterial menigitis is a miracle I can trace right to the incredible people here and in Chris's life all praying and sending healing and love to him.  Our friend is not out of the woods yet, but together we can lend him our strength and help him amaze these Doctors as he recovers more every day.  He can wear glasses and a hearing aid if he has too, it's a small price to pay to see his son grow up!

Oh, thank goodness.

Keep holding on, Chris. We're all still thinking about you.

The Journey has ended for the traveler!! He has returned. Now comes the discovery... on the morrow!

[JennyC]

YES, YES, YES  Chris is awake!

I thank whoever or whatever made this happen.  I haven't heard greater news for a very long time!!!  What a day, Chris!  You scared the hell of everyone here.   Keep fighting it!  Those candles are still burning for you.

They are examining him and SHea is sending blow by blow reports...heres the latest:

they don't believe it caused any problems with his mental abilities (as far as mental redardation). He is having trouble moving his left arm and hand though and they are afraid that the mobility in his arm may be gone. He's still very weak and doesn't have much color but he is communicating to the best of his abilities and seems to remember everyone.

He can regain use of the arm with therapy, much like a stroke victim, just have to retrain the neural pathways.

I am certainly sending all of my love, thoughts and prayers toward Chris and his family.  I can't even imagine.

Hold strong - we're all sending you enormous amounts of love.

[Lumière]

Yes, there is strength is numbers! YES!




I will recopy the prayer Jeff posted here:


O God, the strength of the weak and the comfort of sufferers:
Grant to our Chris the help of your power,
that his sickness may be turned to health,
and our sorrow into joy. Amen.

Chris - fight, fight!  We are all here!

Chris,

We are still sending our love and strength to you, lighting those candles for you.  I see some old friends lighting candles for you, some friends that we thought left us.  That really warmed my heart, I hope you feel that too.  That’s what this community is about, supporting, caring, and sharing our love for Brokeback Mountain and for each other.
