Needleman Subject: File 1--Brendan's mom thanks the Net ((MODERATORS' NOTE: Brendan's recovery has been described as "miraculous." We received a short, but "typically Brenan" note from him Thursday evening, and he's progressing far better than expected. Those wishing to contribute to his medical fund or send a card can do so at: Brendan Kehoe c/o Brendan's Friends Cygnus Support One Kendall Square Cambridge, MA 02139 ======================================= A few weeks before his accident, Brendan Kehoe was named the Board Leader of the Internet Bulletin Board on the PRODIGY Information Service, a national service which is a joint venture of IBM and Sears. Alice Kehoe has an account on PRODIGY and posted the message that follows: > INTERNET BB >TOPIC: GENERAL >TIME: 01/16 7:34 PM > >TO: ALL >FROM: ALICE KEHOE (EMGX48C) >SUBJECT: BRENDAN > >Hi, I'm Brendan's mom - >Since I can't get to the Net right now, thought this might >be one way, at least, of reaching some of the wonderful >folks who've so generously sent along masses of cards, mes- >sages, and letters since word of Brendan's accident made its >way through Cyberspace. Your thoughtful kindness means such >a very great deal to all of us ... >Although there is still a very, very long way to go, and >months of rehab in the offing, Brendan is progressing at a >far faster rate than his doctors had ever anticipated. He is >able to feed himself; can walk with assistance; and, has >even managed a few words now and again, often more or less >in context. >He is still at Philadelphia's Hospital of the University of >Pennsylvania, but we (his brother, Derry, and I) anticipate >moving him to a Boston long-term rehab facility in about a >week or two. (We live in Maine, but Boston's about as close >as we can get for the type of care he needs.) >Your thoughts, good wishes, and most importantly, prayers >have been an immeasurable support and life-line to all three >of us. Thank you, so VERY much! > >Regards and God bless, >Alice > >PS: Would someone who can link into the Net be kind enough >to convey our gratitude Out There??
