Southern Division Infirm
Wednesday, 30 June 2010
David Stanley, commander of the 1st NC Artillery and Commander of Artillery for
the Southern Division, has had an event which prompted him to be admitted to the
Cape Fear Valley Hospital in North Carolina.
He had become seriously ill recently. This was on the heels of his ICD
(a pace maker like device) firing at an ROTC scheduled range event last Thursday in
South Carolina, resulting in his being hospitalized for observation overnight. As of now, the
two events appear to be unrelated. Two CT scans in Fayetteville had shown a couple of shadowed areas
diagnosed as "bleeds" in his brain. To make a long story short, his medications have
changed and he is getting additional scans to determine if the areas have changed.
Initial results are fairly positive but time will tell.
He is recovering some of the cognition compromised by the event...hopefully this will continue
to improve. Any conclusions as to when he'll be able to go home are as yet undefined but if he is judged to have been stabilized, he'll be as safe home as in the hospital.
****** UPDATE ********
David is at home now and feeling much better but, extremely tired..the doctors are still awaiting results from some of the tests...
Cards can be sent to:

Please keep David and his wife Joyce in your prayers as they await the news from the doctors.
