RSL in hospital

[LostAngeles]

...
The location of the damage is not expected to affect what we know of as "Robert." His sense of humor, the way he thinks, communicates, reasons, will be the same as it always has been. This got me to thinking . . . so, what if he remains on disability for the rest of his life? What if he can never return to computer programming? What will he do?

HEY SYLVIA, JOHN, JAMES, BENNY, PETER, KEVIN, ETC - ARE YOU LISTENING? IF ROBERT LANCASTER DOES NOT RETURN TO A 40-HR WORK WEEK, IT WILL MEAN HE'LL HAVE MORE TIME TO COME AFTER YOU! Maybe you should be praying alongside all of those praying for a full recovery!

Susan, I need to tell you that I love you and not just for the good news. That bit there has made my day.

 

[wahrheit]

Thanks a lot for posting the good news, Susan. I so hope there will be more, even better news in the near future!

Some cyber hugs for you:

 

[russianbolero]

I've been lurking here quite a while but have never posted before. When I saw this news, I decided to delurk to send my own good thoughts (and a few prayers) for healing and strength for both of you and everyone involved.

I hope things go really, really well. Please take care.

I only just found this thread, but better late than never.

Best wishes to Robert - may all the benefits of modern medicine be upon him - and Susan - may the strength and support of family and friends be upon you.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for the updates, Susan. It must have felt great to get an actual prognosis for Robert's recovery. Good deal!

 

[Mr. Skinny]

Susan, I was having a better than normal day today, then I read your update on Robert. Now my day is even better.

 

[kittynh]

so happy I'm crying!!!

Prayers continue ofcourse!

 

[Doubt]

I will spread the good news down here in Quito at dinner tonight!

 

[Locknar]

Susan - Excellent news!!

 

[RandFan]

I told my family the news when I first. They all met Robert at TAM. They keep asking me for updates. I'm so glad I can pass this on.

Lot's of hard work ahead for you but this is definitely a reason to celebrate.

Love,

RandFan

HEY! HEY! HEY! HEY!

Do I have your attention? Well, for the first time we have a better understanding of what's been going on, what is to come in the immediate future, and what we have to look forward to. One of the doctors began at the beginning and went all the way into his prognosis. Finally.

The slight difference between the first and second cat scans was not a bad turn. It actually meant there was "no change." The millimeter more blood that showed up in the second was seepage from the original bleed, not new bleeding. The third cat scan done today shows "no change" again. This isn't necessarily bad news. It means there has been no further bleeding, which is good news. Everything he's going through is "expected."

The doctor says Robert will be in the hospital for weeks. The doctor expects him to wake up next week - the week after at the latest. He'll likely be in rehab weeks to months. BUT THEN HE WILL COME HOME!!!!!!

Forumites, the Lancaster clan is ever so grateful for, and a bit overwhelmed by, the outpouring of love for Robert. His mother especially wanted me to express her gratitude to you all.

Good things are coming. They will take some time to get here, but they are coming.

Much love,
Susan

You know, Susan.... It's night nice to make a grown man cry!

I am very glad that I'm reading the updates in this thread alone and at home on a Sunday morning here in Hong Kong, and not at my office as I often do.

 

[Kelly]

I was so happy to read the latest and positive news about Robert!
Thanks, Susan, for keeping us updated.

 

[Kimpatsu]

My condolences. I hope he recovers quickly and is back fighting the good fight in no time.

 

[Myriad]

I hope he recovers steadily and completely. Quickly would be nice but it's in third place behind those other two.

Respectfully,
Myriad

 

[CFLarsen]

Science. Ain't it wonderful?

 

[derekcbart]

Wow. I just had an emotional past few moments. I only just read about the stroke and in the blog post there was a link to this thread. I read through and was getting really sad and then I got to the good news.

Take care and please let me, or anyone else from the IIG, know if there is anything we can do.

You just can't keep a good man down...

Susan, you take care of the big lunk (and yourself)

Good news is often a rare commodity these days, your latest post is some of the best in a long time...woo hoo!

 

[dustbunny]

Excellent news thanks for the update. Good on ya Susan for keeping up the pressure too.

 

[Empress]

What wonderful, wonderful news to wake up to!



Thanks so much for updating us, Susan, and you shouldn't be surprised at the outpouring of love--although it naturally speaks well of y'alls self-effacing natures. Robert's selfless work for skeptism and the obvious love that the two of you share is something beautiful to behold.

 

[skepticality]

Thank you for the great update!

He will be up and kicking and ready to all of our cards, thoughts, and forums in no time. Trust me, it is a real good thing for you to see how much people care.
