Update from Will Haworth . . . .
"I just talked with Joann, Arlin's wife, and she says Arlin is able at times to talk some but then it becomes hard to understand. He has the electric stimulator on his hand sending signals to the brain to establish or increase contact and 'message'transmission. He is getting rehab.
Tomorrow he will get a feeding tube in the stomach and then the NG tube will be removed after 72 hours. He works to move his arm with his good arm . . . and his foot with his good foot and leg. It takes him time but he knows he has to do it and figures a way to get it done . . . of course, that is Arlin.
Where to go for rehab . . . intense rehab at the hospital . . . will insurance pay? Or may go to where family is in Missouri to assistance to do intense rehab. Keep praying . . . Thanks!"

"Arlin is doing about the same . . . a lot of working in rehab on Fri. . . . tired and rest on Sat. . . . looking for placement in a nursing home for rehab . . . a very difficult decision to make . . . will drop the total time of rehab in half each day"

Update from Will Haworth . . . .
"They got Arlin up today and in a wheelchair and took him down to rehab . . . got him up and tried walking . . . he took three steps and stopped and rested, then took three more and again to a total of 4 times. He wanted to do more but they said not to get too tired. Back in the room they had an electric stimulator for the hand and worked with that until he could raise one finger . . . then two fingers. They feel like this is real progress today and it kind of wore him out."

I read this on facebook this morning. It was posted by a former minister and a wonderful friend of ours, Will Haworth.
"Many of my friends on FB know my college roommate and close friend, Arlin Chesney. This morning Arlin had a stoke and is in serious condition in the hospital in Tennessee. The next 8 to 10 days is a wait and see period of time. I would ask you to join Diana and me in prayer for good progress and total recovery for Arlin... and for strength and comfort for his family."
