Dale was released from the hospital. He does still have brain bleeding, but he was stable enough to leave. He cannot swallow well right now, so will have to have his food pureed. Home Health will be working with him to regain his ability to walk. They are still staying with their friends and caregivers Brenda and Donald. Their house is being worked on from the tree falling on it, but it is more involved than what was originally thought, so it will still be a while before they can go back. They both need our prayers. Pat asked me to thank everyone for the calls and well wishes for Dale. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Shannon Cook<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Member, National Federation of the Blind of South Carolina<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>The greatest investment you can make in this world is kindness.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
