There was heavy traffic at Kessler this weekend. Despite the hurricane conditions blowing through NJ, Sean had allot of spring breaking visitors as well as older folks. He is definitely energized by seeing everyone so keep it coming.
Sean had an eye exam this week and it went pretty well. There are some issues especially with his left eye but all these seem correctable per the eye doctor.
Sean is continuing to work on his eating. Meals still take quite a while to get through but Sean is working hard to get some weight back on. He is drinking much better and has begun using a straw which he was not previously able to do.
Sean also seems to be building some strength and is using his arms to move and adjust himself in his bed. The therapists also say that he is helping them more by using his arms and legs more as they move him around during PT sessions.
In case you haven’t heard, there are now “C’mon Sean” bracelets (I think that is what they are called….the kind that Lance Armstrong started with “Livestrong”) circulating around. Any one with info on whether these are called bracelets and info on who started this craze, feel free to respond. Extra bracelets (or whatever) to the winner. Anyhow, thanks to Sean’s Aunt Leslie and Uncle Martin for organizing, designing and shipping these. They are even done in Raven colors and have Sean’s name on the inside…..nice job Leslie and Martin! We are working on how to get these out to all that have shown their support for Sean. For now, I think they are only available at the Nemazie house and the hospital. Stay tuned….we are working on it.
More to come…..Steve

Hi Steve,
ReplyDeleteMy name is Liza and I go to UD.. I head to club golf team that sean was really involved with last semester. A few of the officers and I would love to come visit sean and send our love on behalf of the team. I was hoping you could give me the times that are most convenient for us to visit- I don't want to intrude on any family time! Hopefully we can make it up soon, maybe even this weekend! Please feel free to email me if that is better at ljmelms@udel.edu
Thanks so much. We can't wait to get sean's smiling face back out on the course!

Way to go Sean....keep it going buddy. We were there Saturday and there must have been at least 12-15 of your family and friends visiting you at once. Your physical therapist spoiled all of the fun by taking you for some butt kicking in the afternoon. You looked great and are definitely making big strides. Everyday is better than the previous day....keep up the good work....
