Guardedly good news!
Update from Mandi about her dad, Steve Utash:
UPDATE ON MY DADS CONDITION:
He is off the ventilator and is able to breathe on his own. He is in and out of it with his memories. Sometimes he can look at me and remember who I am and other times he can’t. Today when I asked him how old he is he said “I’m two years old” but he did know his name. He does keep saying “I don’t want to die I’m sorry” and “please don’t let me forget you” He also keeps flashing back to the assault screaming for “HELP” and “PLEASE GET THEM OFF ME” He didn’t seem to know what happened to him or why he was in the hospital, but again it is way to early to tell. He is also on MANY pain medications which are causing him to be delirious. These are baby steps. He is able to wiggle is toes on command and answer yes or no questions. It’s to soon to tell if he’s going to have any memory loss or long term damage. The frontal lobe is what was affected the most and that is where his memories and personality are and this is a long road ahead but the end of the road will be worth it. It is so hard to see him like this. I will post if any other changes happen. Please continue to keep my father in your prayers and thoughts.
Also we have a P.O. Box for the Trust fund if you would like to mail a check please address the envelope S. Utash and send it to P.O. Box 761 Warren MI 48090-0761
Thank you all so much, your words mean more then you know.
