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

I'm so happy. I've been thinking about him a lot and truly believe that his positive spirit will bring only goodness.
Thanks for the wonderful update!! Sending both of you love and peace!! Please keep posting updates when you have a few moments - been thinking of Rocco all day :)
Love the news, love to the three of you, and a huge, bear-hug (but keep it gentle) to Rocco!!!
Amazing!
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.
Fantastic news! So glad to hear it, Denise!
Onward and upward, Rocco! Krista Scott

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

Such amazing wonderful news. I am so glad to hear Rocco is home. Sending you all the good energy, love and prayers!!
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
