The Thanh Nien Daily is reporting that Papert was released from his Boston
hospital and is speaking again. http://www.thanhniennews.com/society/?catid=3&newsid=24534 -S |
Well this article is misleading.
I am with Seymour right now. While it is true that Seymour is speaking, he is far from fully recovered. He is still in early stages of recovery. He does not recognize other people or even himself. He is still in the hospital and will be yet for an extended period.. We are still hopeful that he will recover eventually, but if he does, it'll take many months. ___ Sent with SnapperMail www.snappermail.com ...... Original Message .......

>hospital and is speaking again. >http://www.thanhniennews.com/society/?catid=3&newsid=24534 I wanted to clarify Seymour's status as this article may be misleading. I have just spent most of today with Seymour Papert. Seymour Papert is far from being back to normal after his accident in Hanoi. After six weeks since his emergency airlift back to the US, He has been making gradual slow progress. He remains in the hospital undergoing strenuous rehab and will have to remain hospitalized for at least 3-4 months more. He still suffers profound cognitive deficits which we all hope will improve over time but it is expected to be a very long process. -- -Uri # ### # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # |
