Hello to everyone, this is his son, Donny. Thank you so much for all the kind well wishes and words. I was able to open Don's email and we read all of your messages to him, as he is unable to read much. He asked me to thank everyone and to say hello.
He is still recovering in the therapy unit of St. Al's hospital in Boise. When he had the stroke he lost the use of the right side of his body. So his arm and hand, leg, and even his vision on the right half of his body were all affected (he can see out of both eyes, but only from his nose to his left side). Unfortunately he is right handed, so using his left hand for everything is also difficult by itself. However, he is steadily making progress in his recovery and has regained the ability to move his limbs and use them to some extent. He still requires a great deal of assistance to get up and move, but the therapists are optimistic that he will continue to improve. Only time will tell how much capability he will recover. He is scheduled to be released from the hospital to go home this Thursday, but we will continue with having therapists come in to work with him to help with his rehab. Again, thank you all for your kind words and support, I will continue to monitor his emails and forward your thoughts and questions to him. Thank you.
