[nfbwatlk] Great News RE Marci Carpenter

[Prows, Bennett (HHS/OCR)]

Kay,

That is great news. I remember she was slated for surgery, but didn't
think or remember it was going to be so traumatic.  I know she had
similar surgery quite a while back.  I am glad she's doing so well.

Thanks very much.

Just moments ago I spoke to Marci Carpenter who was on her way home from
the
University of Washington Hospital after yesterday's successful surgery
to
implant an electro in her brain to stop the tremor in her right hand.
The
Drs. Are very; happy to have found the correct nerve.  In about one
month,
after healing from the surgery they will turn on the implanted
apparatus,
much like a pacemaker, and if the surgery did what it is expected, the
tremor will be greatly diminished or gone.    The surgery does require a
shaved head over the area, and the opening of the skull, but  is not
very
invasive compared to other brain surgeries.  Drs. Have now proven Marci
does
have a brain and now she can be referred to as a bionic women, or brain
enhanced.

 

Sincerely,

 

Kay Burrows
