Peggy's email address

Hi all....It's Peggy's son Mark here....

A couple of folks have said they wanted to post comments or reach out to Peggy directly but didn't know how to do it.

If you want to send her an email, her address is: pegnewman@comcast.net

If you want to post a comment for others concerned with Tim's well-being to see and don't have an account and don't want to sign up for one, you may send an email to me at jfkslc@optonline.net and we will post it on your behalf.

Thanks for all your concern and prayers....we are happy with his progress.

Mark Newman

Things are looking up

Tim's mask providing oxygen was removed today. I think he's still getting some assistance with oxygen but it's nice to have the mask off. I can understand him better, and he is talking to me.

He has been sitting up a bit which is good for the breathing. The congestion is getting less. All in all today is going well. Yesterday the PT says he was seeming strong in his grip. We appreciate all the prayers in his behalf.

Sunday morning

Tim is much more alert, moving more, following commands, mouthing words almost audibly. They just removed the breathing tube. He is having some difficulties breathing without it and having trouble with mucous. They are working on that and trying to get him to cough. Possible they could have to put the tube back, but hopefully not. Seems to be better than when they first took it out. Thanks for your concern and prayers. Peggy

Welcome to the home of updates on Tim Newman's stroke

Welcome to my blog. Mark and I decided to make info more readily to all the wonderful people who are concerned about Tim. Everyone has been amazing. We know he is in the prayers of many people. We appreciate all the offers to help us. Thank you so much, but right now just keep praying and thinking positive thoughts. It really helps.

We are seeing much improvement today over yesterday, and even last night. He is moving more body parts, even getting the eyes open a bit on command. He is breathing mostly on his own with some help from the ventilator. Progress seems slow, but it is happening. The last CT scan showed no new problems and everyone feels that is a real plus.
