Moe712002 Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 (edited) Thankfully, more good news about Joe. From Devils' website. Thank you Dave Gibbs for providing these updates. Update Saturday August 2 Joe is looking much better. He is able to get up and walk. His vision is clearing and dexterity is returning. He is eating better and even ordered pizza for dinner. We still have another 24 hours of close watching. He is obviously sad not to be with his fellow BD members. Please continue with the thoughts and prayers ... they are working!! Thank you for all of your concern. It has been awesome!!! The corps is doing better and they are are excited about the good news about Joe. They have been through a lot this summer and are a amazing group of young people They are extremely excited about the upcoming week and are determined to make the final week of shows the most spectacular yet. As with Joe, they are all fighters and determined. Edited August 3, 2008 by Moe712002 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best wishes also to the kids in the corps proper that they are able to rally around the news and come back with their customary pizazz. They are a mighty fine corps and we hope to see them at the top of their game! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarContra4-85 Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Here's wishing Joe a full and speedy recovery. I'm sure that the Blue Devils will be taking him on the field with them this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
franklinjake Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Here's wishing Joe a full and speedy recovery. I'm sure that the Blue Devils will be taking him on the field with them this week. The last thing any other drum corps want is a corp with more motivation. BD is coming off of a rough show in Allentown (and Joe just about dieing), looking to retake the lead, and now more inspiration to win #13 for Joe! Not good news for the other "teams". They are going to be Big, Bad, and Blue this week! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
84BDsop Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Another update....better and better! "Joe's doctor has stated that he is "out of immediate danger". Today they will be doing more tests to determine long term diagnostics and when he can travel back to California. Joe continues to make progress moving and walking."
