He's hanging out at home a day after brain surgery...

Yup, no lie. He's hanging out at home a day after brain surgery...and if you are wondering how that is possible, you need only look in the mirror and know that through your collective connection to something beautiful and devine it's working and it is real.

Your love by way of messages, videos, food, cards, flowers, texts, emails, and posts updating every few seconds was a HUGE part of why.

His ability to see so many faces and smiles and voices talk directly to him in this video was magical.

Hearing his favorite song sung by Korbe at the end was absolutely perfect and we all lost it.

Hurdle #1 is over and clearly you all do have his back and mine.

Message delivered and received.

Our deepest appreciation to all at UC Med Center and especially the Neuroscience Intensive Care Unit (NSICU)

Love,

Denise

    As Rocco knows, I'm a speech pathologist, and can absolutely vouch for the protective effect of highly-advanced skills in speech, language, and complex cognition. Meaning: Rocco's brain is more tamper-proof than most! May treatments continue to go well. Sending all heart-felt support to you all.

    OMG... Rocco is home and HEALTHWARD BOUND! You, dear man, give new meaning to that. The Calvery, team Rocco, goes where you go. :) We're parked outside! We're inside with you...in the light, the love, and bond together. Our dear man... Denise, our captain, hats off to you!!! WOW. Your fortitude, tenacity, and take no prisoner surge ahead--while keeping us all informed--has brought us all home to the next chapter. And Kendal's soothing gardens will help nurture and sustain Rocco. I love you Dal Veras, Brooke Summers

    Denise et al, thanks for the updates. So delighted to know that Rocco escaped the hospital bed so soon after surgery. It's always best to recover at home when it's an option; take it from one that knows. Sending you all lots of love and light during this impossible and difficult journey. You are strong, Rocco, and blessed with so many friends and family that love you dearly. Keep on, keeping on.....holding you in my heart. Love you, Paulette
