Update On Peter David

Yesterday we reported about writer of Peter David having a stroke. Kathleen  (Peter's wife) posted an update on her blog earlier today...

He has lost most of the use of his right arm, his right leg is incredibly weak, the vision in his right eye is blurry, and the right side of his face is drooping slightly. But the brain is there with all its quips and quick retorts. He has had the nurses laughing a lot.

She also mentions that he has been having problems sleeping recently and at the time was suffering from blurry vision, then slurred speech. It was when he was having problems with his right leg and unable to type that he was taken to the hospital. After CAT scans revealed nothing, but the MRI and some other tests revelaed it to be a stroke and not a heart attack.

Today we figure out what the next step is and where it is going to happen. Tonight the New Year Begins and for us it is a very different beginning than we thought we were going to be having.

Thank you everyone for your good wishes, prayers and kind words. They do help. And BIG thank you to our Orlando buddies who have taken us into their houses and helped us deal with what is going on.

Continue to think good thoughts for Peter. This is not going to be easy for him or us but we will get through this together.

I am grateful that my husband is still alive.

We are too Kathleen. Sending good thoughts, prayers, and well wishes his (and your) way.
