Dano Posted October 22, 2011 #551 Posted October 22, 2011 I am ecstatic to hear of the successful rehab that Dave is going thru, the power of everyones prayers and thoughts is overwhelming. I too look forward to the day when I can see and talk to him in person again, he is just that great of a guy. Please pass along a big hug from me the next time one of you lucky guys get to see him.
Kregerdoodle Posted October 22, 2011 #552 Posted October 22, 2011 Tom, many thanks for the up date, he did real good last week while looking at pics, he could name most of the folks in them. Janet and myself are planning on seeing him this Sunday, Janet was sick last week so she didn`t go up there with me, but Dave asked about her and picked her out in pics.. I`m with you, I beleave he will make great strides in getting back to how he was before the accident, him and squid were messing with me last week, so he is getting there. Just gotta keep the Prayers and good thoughts going up and he will make it, he is a fighter and not about to give up, so please no one give up on him.
Marcarl Posted October 22, 2011 #553 Posted October 22, 2011 My wife and I had six kids,,,,, and if one of them asked for a favor or had a special request to go somewhere, mom and dad would listen, discuss it and if it were a good thing to do, we might go along with the request. Now when all six of them got their mom involved and asked dad for a day away,,,,, what choice would dad have!! Kind of the same with the power of prayer,,, we are the kids and Father listens. Sure is great when the Creator gets involved!!!

Kreg , didnt see your post till after I got back home. I took Deb to her Grannies grave afterwards and when I got home we had logged 495 miles so I am TIRED!! Tomorrow gotta renew My CCL license so I had to get on home. Hope to see you soon though.
Kregerdoodle Posted October 22, 2011 #555 Posted October 22, 2011 no problem Tom, figured you had a long day and would want to get home before the critters got out on the roads. We`ll catch up one of these days, till then, take care and stay safe! Kreg , didnt see your post till after I got back home.

Aussie Annie Posted October 22, 2011 #556 Posted October 22, 2011 How absolutely wonderful to see he is recovering so well. I'm not sure he would remember the "aussies" but please give him a hug from us when ever you visit. Annie & Alan

I'm not sure he would remember the "aussies" but please give him a hug from us when ever you visit. Annie & Alan Annie, I guess I forgot that part. When I mentioned the Cody Rally he not only mentioned your name but several others that were there. He remembers better than I do!
motorcycletom Posted October 22, 2011 #558 Posted October 22, 2011 Thanks for the update. We are so happy that Ponch is doing better. We are all a big happy family here.
Freebird Posted October 22, 2011 #560 Posted October 22, 2011 Hearing about Ponch's great process always brings a smile. I think of him all the time and look forward to visiting with him again. I tell you what, he just HAS to come to maintenance day so he needs to keep chasing the nurses around until he feels better. I know that he won't be able to ride but hopefully he will feel well enough by then to fly up. It's too early to start it now but I'm thinking that a small fundraiser to buy some airline tickets is in our future. I am also reserving the guest bedroom or the guest house here for them this year. So...make your plans folks. I hope that we can make Freebird's Maintenance Day a very special one this year. I will be announcing the dates soon.

Count me in on the donation, and I WILL make it next year. I had high hopes last June but work got in the way. I will be able to show off Sylvester and the Hannigan sidecar, I hope. Keep on getting better Ponch.

There's another "Thank you Jesus"
Carbon_One Posted October 23, 2011 #563 Posted October 23, 2011 Awesome news that Ponch is doing so great. Sure there may be a step back now & then but with the leaps and bounds he's made to date I say he's well ahead of the game. Keep working hard Ponch and hope we do get to see you & Kathy at Don's MD. Best wishes & thoughts for you Larry

Tom Posted October 23, 2011 #566 Posted October 23, 2011 You all know I am in and in case he can't fly because of pressure ,IE cabin or altitude I will bring him in my RV if it's my week off.

Checking on Ponch, sounds like he is in really,really,good hands. Same hands that gives all comfort and help in time of need. Glad to feel as if we all have made a difference, knowing that God is the real reason. Fuzzy
Galapagos Posted October 23, 2011 #568 Posted October 23, 2011 The fundraiser is a great idea Don. Count me in.
Kregerdoodle Posted October 23, 2011 #569 Posted October 23, 2011 Myself and Janet had a great visit with Dave and Kathy today, he is doing better then last week, they were playing Dominos when we got there, he does pretty good matching the colors and counting the dots, good eye exercise. He knew who we were, called me kregerdoodle, Janet was JanetDoodle, Kathy was Kathydoodle or BossDoodle and he was DavidDoodle or just Dave. we had some laughs and a few tears. He will be moving to a new rehab on Nov.2 , they are really going to be working him hard, 9am till 3pm m/f and feild trips on weekends, this will really help him in getting him ready to go home, Kathy wasn`t sure on visitation, so after he is moved she said she would call and let people know when would be a good time to visit. Please keep the prayers comming

Preacher Dude Posted October 24, 2011 #571 Posted October 24, 2011 Don Count on me Brother. I believe that is the way it should be. Reaching out to those that dont have the means to reach out. Just let us know when.
Aimhigh Posted October 24, 2011 #572 Posted October 24, 2011 It is so gratifying to read all the good stuff about Ponch...especially the reports on his condition. Thanks, you guys, for keeping us posted...very good news, indeed.
van avery Posted October 24, 2011 #573 Posted October 24, 2011 Great new, hope things continue to develop for the good. Prayers are still going out for fast and full recovery.
Squidley Posted October 24, 2011 #574 Posted October 24, 2011 I have posted a thread specifically for recovery updates for David here http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?p=633262#post633262 I would like this to be a read only thread so we can keep everyone abreast of updates at an easy view. I will also let folks know in this thread when updates are posted...Thank You all again for all your efforts
