Trent Beachy

UP DATE ON TRENT: Trent has been released to live in an apartment on
the hospital campus in Denver. I asked if he could get along by
himself? He said he does pretty good. Cathy is there to lend a hand
also. He will be coming home the 24 of January and by that time they
will have given him all of his therapy exercises and directions for
exercises. They are treating the muscle tissue with electro shocks to
keep the nerve fibers firing and stimulating growth of the nerves and
muscles. This will increase the number of neurons firing . His Right
arm from the wrist up is now almost 100%. The last tree fingers on
his right hand are functioning pretty well but the thumb and
forefinger still lack gripping strength. The left arm is not
responding except to the electric shock. He spends most of the time
from 8:00 to 4:00 in therapy. Now that the rest of his body is in
the healing stage he discovered some injury to his ribs also. I
questioned Trent about his neck about flexibility and he replied
things are going well and he has good movement. So I felt this was a
good positive report. His phone number is 574-536-7806 and I am sure
he would be glad to hear from you. Gramp
