2544.0. "Rich Allen" by SOLVIT::MEREDITH (another hill? ugh) Tue Apr 27 1993 10:17

As you may or may not know, Rich Allen was involved in an auto accident
Sunday afternoon. He was traveling south on By-pass 28 turning left onto 
Spofford, when a Ford Bronco hit his Fiat.

Rich is still in a coma at Elliot hospital in Manchester. His prognosis is
not good. The cat scan revealed a clot at the base of the brain, (indicative
of brain damage). He has shown no movement and is on a respirator.

When I talked to his wife last night, she was very shaken. I asked what we 
could do for her and she said to say a prayer for Rich's recovery. Its now,
wait and see.

I'll keep you posted.

2544.1	an update	SOLVIT::MEREDITH	another hill? ugh	`Wed Apr 28 1993 10:55`	12
	I visited the hospital last night. Rich is still in a coma and on a respirator. Fortunately, he has no other major injuries (like broken bones). He is starting to respond to voices and they believe he opened his eyes for a couple of seconds. He started to move his legs when I mentioned biking up a hill. (blood pressure and heart rate increases) All of this is much better news as he is responding to outside stimulus. His doctor wants to have him "emerge" from the coma before they do anything else. Keep the prayers coming.

	I was a read only. Rather spend my time riding and such. I finally just got back into the file today. I was riding some already and Paul M. told me what the new node was so I could update my notebook. Now I'll go back to read-only. rich
