Phil Fest '08

CALLING ALL FRIENDS AND FAMILY!!
Phil is doing well at the Care Meridian facility in Artesia, where he has been living since the beginning of November. His speech and physical therapists are working with him a couple of times a week in an effort to help develop his ability to communicate. He remains in a state of semi-consciousness with periods of alertness.
What Phil needs more than anything, at this point, are visitors! While the facility provides a comfortable environment for Phil, he has had far fewer visitors since his relocation. As a result, he is receiving less of the regular sensory stimulation required to continue progressing and rehabilitating. Phil needs visitors to keep him engaged and to remind him how greatly he is missed and how much hope we still have for his recovery. Encouraged stimulating activities include reading, telling stories, listening to music, watching TV/movies, playing a musical instrument, talking, etc.
Thanks to everyone for staying connected and positive. Please make an effort to visit with Phil as soon as possible – a gift of your time is priceless.

Care Meridian
17724 Gridley Road
Artesia, CA 90701


We're happy to report that Phil is settled at the new facility and is progressing nicely. Care Meridian provides a much more homelike environment and Phil is in a large, comfortable room with only one other patient. Phil has started to eat solid food and has begun very preliminary physical and speech therapy.

We've been told by his care providers that we can resume visits with Phil immediately! The hours have changed a bit to accommodate the visiting hours at Care Meridian (beginning at 11am) -- including more evening visits for those of you who were having trouble getting out to see Phil during the day.

Thanks to everyone for staying engaged and positive. Hope you get a chance to visit with Phil soon!

The Hanleys have good news to report -- on Friday, 10/24, Phil will be moved from Kindred Hospital to a facility in Artesia specializing in therapy for patients having suffered traumatic brain injury. Given Phil's increased movement, responsiveness, and reactions, the move is appropriate and will address his changing needs.
For now, we will suspend hospital visits until we know the schedule/policies at the new facility. Look for another update in the next week or two. Thanks to everyone for your visits and energy and continued positive thinking!

September 29, 2008
GREAT NEWS!!

The Hanley family is thrilled to share some amazing news: today, Phil uttered his first words/sounds since the accident. Although it is too soon to tell exactly what it means in terms of his recovery, it is an incredible and encouraging sign! Please let's make sure we fill up his visitation schedule -- he needs stimulation now more than ever.

Thank you to everyone for your good thoughts and energy -- please keep them coming and we will provide another update as soon as we know more!

At the nine week mark, Phil is continues to make steady progress. He is still unconcioius yet is increasing his movement in both hands. He grips and squeezes his right hand with greater strength each day. He is also moving his head and left hand. Many of these movements appear to be on command. This is a great sign!

Keep up the wonderful support and thoughts. We knew this would be a long haul but Phil fighting hard!

September 7, 2008
We have very postive news to report. As of Friday, September 5, Phil is breathing through a trach without the assistance of a ventilator. He also no longer requires dialysis. His body remains free of any secondary concerns such as infection. Very encouraging signs!
A sincere thanks to the community for continuing support of the Hanley family, particularly to those who have begun to pay visits to Phil at the hospital to read, listen to music and other forms of very welcome sensory stimulation. Every ounce of support is invaluable. We will continue to provide updates to the community as new information becomes available.

Hello Phil Supporters! MEETING AUGUST 27th from 6:00-7:00 p.m.

As many of you know, Phil is at a sub acute care facility in West Covina. He remains on a ventilator and receives dialysis treatment daily. Since he is still in a coma, it is time for a concerted effort to provide the appropriate sensory stimulation to speed up his recovery.

The support from the community has been tremendous. Many of you have expressed interest in helping in a more direct way. We are looking for people who feel they have the time and the level of comfort necessary to visit Phil periodically, for up to 30 minutes per visit, to provide sensory stimulation such as: reading, telling stories, recounting memories, watching television, listening to music and other activities.

On Wednesday, August 27th, from 6:00 - 7:00 pm, we will be training interested and available individuals on the protocols and particulars of providing this type of support. The training will be held at the Aveson Charter School campus, located at 1919 E. Pinecrest Drive in Altadena.

If you are interested in attending the meeting, please RSVP to meredithking@aveson.org

Thank you for your continued support.

THANK YOU TO ALL FAMILIES THAT SUPPORTED BEAUTIFYING THE CAMPUS ON SATURDAY AUGUST 23rd!!

Many of you may still be wondering what you can do to help the Hanley family.
Here are a couple of ways you can help!

Next, Saturday August 30th from 9:00 am - 1:00 pm, we are having the second of two consecutive Saturday work days. In Phil's absence, are beautiful campus leaves something to be desired before the school year starts. We are asking that you come to Aveson tomorrow with your work gloves, painters cap, and your gardening tools, and help out wherever you can.

Also, we have ordered and received 350 blue silicone bracelets that say "Phil, We Believe in You". (Big thank you to the Cohn family :0)) We have adult and child sizes and we are ready to sell the bracelets to you. Bracelets are $5 each or 5 for $20. If we sell them all, we will raise $1100 for the Hanley family. This is a wonderful way to show our support. Wearing our bracelets will be a symbol of our strong community and remind us to keep this family close to our hearts through Phil's recovery.

Bracelets are on sale NOW in the main office, and will be available on both Saturday workdays. We encourage every family to stop by as soon as possible!

Thank you for your support!

"Since the time of our last blog update, Phil's team of doctors at Huntington Memorial determined that Phil was physically stable. On Friday, August 15, Phil was transferred to a sub-acute care facility in West Covina. he remains in a deep coma and is receiving daily dialysis to support kidney function on a ventilator for breathing.
Please continue your positive thoughts that Phil comes out of the coma and regains consciousness. The Hanley family thanks you for your continuing care, generosity and support.

Going forward, the blog will only be updated if there is a significant change in Phil's condition. Thank you for your understanding." We all miss Phil VERY MUCH!

Thank you all so much for your donations it is helping the family with housecleaning, gas, and groceries.

August 7, 2008
Phil's intracranial pressure (ICP) has remained within normal ranges over the past several days. This is great news in light of the severity of his original brain trauma. The doctors were very happy with his latest CT scan but will not know actual responsiveness and condition until his body is completely clear of all sedatives. This process will take more time.
As many of you may know, the secondary complications from a serious injury can be challenging. The lungs, kidneys and circulatory system are all effected by the treatment process. The doctors are addressing each condition as it presents itself.
Keep up the energy and support!


August 2nd, 2008
As of this morning, all medications keeping Phil in a drug induced coma have been stopped. His doctors are consistently surprised by his progress and feel his intercranial pressure is within the appropriate range to bring him out of the coma. Once the sedatives are completely clear from his system they can assess his actual responsiveness and condition. This process may take several days. As always we will keep this blog updated with his progress.
Thanks to everyone who continues to provide support in such a respectful way. This will be a long process so endurance of energy and support will be needed.

July 28th, 2008
As many of you may know, the doctors still have Phil in a drug induced coma.

Thank you for keeping Phil and his family in your thoughts and continuing to send your positive energies.

Friends of Phil-

Phil is still in critical condition, however his "vitals" are stable. We will be updating the blog daily by noon, to let you know if there have been any changes to his condition. If there is no change, we will state "No Change". You can assume this means that Phil is still in critical condition, however his "vitals" are stable. If there has been a change in either direction we will notify the community as soon as it becomes appropriate to do so.

Friends of Phil-
The Hanley family has a long journey in front of them. As a community, we are searching for ways to support this family. They need us to project thoughts of Love, and Healing, and Strength into the universe. And we radiate. We are believers in Phil.
We have set up a PayPal account for donations that will go directly to the family. As Cid's co-worker and friend, Jennee Sonnenberg will be accepting donations on their behalf. Jenee and Liz will be coordinating with community members to provide the family with Vons gift cards, Dream Dinners, gas cards, coffee cards, money for food while at the hospital, etc. PayPal is one of the most widely used online payment services on the Internet. It is free to set up an account and is absolutely secure. PayPal accepts payments through bank accounts or any major credit card.

Simply click on the link above to donate:

In the meantime, keep radiating. And keep believing. And keep praying. And keep honoring a man who makes every one of us smile. We will continue to be humbled in his light.

Dear Aveson Family,

Thank you all so much for your support! We feel it, Cid feels it, and Phil definitely feels it. Aveson is truly an awesome, unique and inspiring community.

What can you do now??? We are only asking that you continue to send your positive energy. Meals and child care have been taken care for the week from amazing community.

Post: 7/20/08 11:45 a.m.

Friends of Phil:

Phil is fighting!!
After a long night of observation Phil is showing "abnormal" movement. This morning his eyes responded to light, he moved his right and left toes as his loved ones touched his feet, and he had a much stronger cough reflex than he did yesterday. The doctor felt it was appropriate to take another CT Scan. After the CT scan, the doctor recommended that treatment be continued. They have now completed another procedure to continue draining fluid from his head.

What this means is, now more than ever we need the entire Aveson Family to send energies of hope and healing to the Hanleys. We are pulling together as a family and we are fighting! Please continue to send your love and positive energies to Phil, Cid, Leah, Jordan, and Phil's family friends and loved ones.

Thank you for your continued support!

Friends of Phil:

Our community has suffered a tragic accident. Phil Hanley has fallen from a ladder at Aveson and suffered brain trauma. He is currently undergoing brain surgery at Huntington hospital. He has also suffered some damage to his lungs.

Now more than ever, we need the entire community's, blessings, prayers, support and/or whatever it is that you do to build the circle of energy around someone who really needs it.

We will keep you updated on Phil's status, and let you know when visitation becomes appropriate.

When the ultimate Renaissance man falls... we tumble too. And we are humbled. I have been thinking about the long hours you have been putting in at Aveson this summer. How you are there because you believe in building something different. How you and your wife work together, yet have so little opportunity to see one another. Your devotion and dedication inspires me. Today is not fair. And I am filled with sadness. Because when we are working to make small differences in the world, we shouldn't tumble. But know that when we do... we not only have family... but an entire world of people who love and honor you and your family. Just say the word. Whatever you need.

Mad, crazy, beautiful wishes, thoughts and love.

I dreamt last night that the Aveson community was all gathered at Phil and Cid's house --- then Phil showed up, walking a little slower and looking a little tired but on the road to recovery.

Phil openly shares his friendliness, hard work and good stories with everyone in the community. I've learned that he is TOUGH underneath it all - he's the only guy I know who snow skis in shorts. He's been through big accidents before and not only lived to tell about them, but turned them into signature Phil Hanley stories. My belief and hope is that Phil will be back with us soon, "telling us all about it" in the way that only he can.

Much love to you Cid, Leah, Jordan, Phil and Grandma. We are holding you up.

I can't stop thinking and praying for you. When you wake up I will be there.
You still have finish all the you tube stuff. I love you so much, and your friendship is so true.

"Hello."

Hi Phil, this is Hanah, I've been praying for you a lot.
Wake up! I know how much you mean to my dad, and he loves you sooo much.

May be posting this twice...

Anyway, I'm sorry to hear about what's going on. As a registered nurse, maybe I could be of some help. I would be happy to come by the hospital to speak to staff or to help take care of Phil. Hospital nurses are often overburdened and it can help tremendously to have another caregiver there.

Please call. Helena Harvilicz (Simon's mom)

Dear Phil, Cid, Leah & Jordan,

You are in our thoughts, prayers, & hearts. You are truly blessed to have so many close friends and family to provide such an abundance of love, hope, and support during this trying time. Clearly, Phil is receiving the best care possible - the staff at Huntington Memorial is phenomenal.

Phil,
When Erin called me to inform us of your injury and relate your condition, I was shocked beyond belief and numb with sadness. It is so hard for all of us to see the strong, able-bodied Phil we all know so well in this condition. All of us want to see you make a full recovery and return to being the fantastic husband, father, son, brother and friend you are.

These days are critical so you need to rest easy, but be strong, and fight hard. We are praying for strength and healing. You're in God's hands and in all of our hearts.

Get well soon, Hanley. We love you so much...

Bob, Lisa, Sheryl, Bill, Dave & Jeff Stutz

Dearest Hanley Family:

Well, you're on my mind the minute I wake up and the moment I go to sleep and all the hours in between. I even dream of you all. I think if anyone has the spirit to overcome such difficulties, it's you, Phil, with your irrepressible optimism, good nature and sense of humor. You have such a light in you. And then, you have Cid--I never saw a couple whose love is more palpable.

And Cid--I will never understand why you have to go through this. You're a woman of strength, courage and joy and I know you're calling on those attributes now. The whole community is there to raise you up when you get weary. We think of you, we think of Leah and Jordan and your mom and we'd do anything in our power to help you.

I'm there with you in spirit and will be in person should you need me. My family and I are shining love to you always--

Thanks for always making us feel welcomed here. I loved how you always had smile on your face, no matter how tired you were. :) I'll never for get when you came up to do something in the SMILE Room (library) and you stopped to talk to me and took a moment to play the guitar with one of the Aveson-SMILERS.

Phil was a really cool guy - I remember him trusting me with his iPod, showing me a band he worked with. And that's not the reason I adored him as a friend, but he constantly smiling, always whistling, smiling on end...for everything he's done for Aveson so far, that just amazes me.

My thoughts and prayers will be with him.

cWe couldn't make it to the candle-lit vigil. John has to work, Tiffy's in summer camp and uncontactable and Lillie is too disruptive to take anywhere as it's her bedtime.

I explained to Lillie what happened to your noggin and Lillie and I lit two candles tonight. They're burning here in our living room for you as I type.

Wake up Phil, your family needs you and the kids at school need you too.

Biology at Aveson said...

Dear Phil,

There are no words to express how I'm feeling about this. I just find it so hard to believe that one moment can change everything so much. So I want to be sure that you know how much I've appreciated all you've done for me. You have brought me video screens, cleaned my room, brought me tables, set me up in other classrooms, pretended to hit me with your truck in the name of crime scene investigations with the bio students, and were just always there to help out with everything. I don't think what happened is fair but now we are just going to have to give fair a swift kick in the pants. It is now time to start fighting back. Start winning the small victories. Move your fingers, wiggle your toes, smile at your family, hold your wife's hand, get out of bed, and come back to us. Thought you might be used to a checklist of things to do so hopefully this will motivate you.

All my prayers.

Scott Houston

Sonja Alarr said...

Hi Phil:

I was thinking today about the June Jubilee and how I'd said one day that I needed a ballpark estimate of how big the blacktop was so that we could figure out how to set it up--and how, the next morning when I saw you, you handed me a drawing of the blacktop, done to scale on graph paper. You had even drawn little tables, the backstop and the 2 bungalows. I was so impressed by that! I'm not a person who thinks logically and have lousy grasp on spatial relations, so it amazed me that you could do that so quickly and accurately, and it helped all of us enormously to put on that event.

I just want you to get better. I can't imagine working with anyone else on these things. No pressure, but feel us all loving and valuing you so much and float on back to us. We'll give you the biggest party in the world.

Hi Phil;

Well, school starts this week and--well. We all just miss you like crazy. I'll be looking forward to coming to read to you. I'll be in Cid's class quite a bit and will be happy to see her.

There is an art "happening" in Old Town on the plaza, and they have 20 crepe myrtle trees in tubs. They have white tags sitting out with pencils, and anyone can put wishes on a tag and attach it to a tree. There were thousands of wishes, millions. "I wish my dog could live forever" "I wish men weren't such @#$holes" "I wish for my daughter's happiness" "I wish I could stay sober," "I wish our president wasn't an idiot." Beautiful wishes, trite and sad and silly and deep. I wrote: 'I wish for Phil's full recovery."

All love,
Sonja

Hi Phil,

Today was the first day of school. It went really well. But I missed you there. Your presence is everywhere. But I missed your physical presence. Girls in Jordan's class were fighting over who gets to marry him. HAHA. Does it really start that young? I can't even remember Kindergarten.

Mrs. Lisa Detwiler said...

Day one is complete and yet not at all without you there. You are very much missed on campus, but the kids are committed to taking care of our school while you're away.

I saw the art experience in Old Town as well and just like Sonja I had to make a wish for your full recovery. You have at least two tags on those trees and I have a suspicion that there are many more wishes for you out there in the world.

Hi, Phil. Remember how we talked about how you would yank the pipes out of the old (white) water fountains and I would build planter boxes to go on top of them? And then I was going to get the little kiddles to help me plant some stuff spilling over, to soften those blank walls? Well, I've been planning it all summer, but I can't do it without you. (And you had a plan for those old pipes, right?)

We're pulling for you, Phil, and looking forward to more projects together.

Hi Phil:
I've been working a bit in Cid's classroom, and I just wanted to let you know that she's doing an amazing job. She misses you terribly, but she's not letting that affect her with the kids at school--she's patient as a tree, affectionate, funny--just great. I don't know how she does it--her love for you is so strong it's visible, and she'll be so grateful to have you back. But she's heroic while she's waiting. You'd be very proud of her.

We sure miss you. We hear you're doing so much healing--keep it up. We're all fighting with you--

Sonja

Hi Phil:

I was in Cid's class yesterday and she was so happy because she'd asked you to move your feet and you'd complied--she was there with your mom and Amy and they really felt like you could hear what they were asking you to do.

Then I had a dream last night that I came to visit you and brought along some stuff to smell--a fresh donut, pizza, Cid's soap, some coffee. I asked you if you wanted some coffee and you said yes, then sat up and got out of bed. I was shocked and turned quickly, which caused you to stumble and we both ended up on the floor and laughed til we cried. Then Cid came in and Kate, and what a reunion you had.

And now the news that you're making words and noise. Well, make a ton of noise! Sometimes dreams are prophetic--I say make as much noise as you possibly can.

See you soon,
Sonja

Dear Phil,

Rosie and I enjoyed our visit with you last Friday. You seemed to respond favorably to the aroma of the strawberry oil we brought. When i mentioned Milan, Alessandro and Amelie to you, your eyes widened.... it seemed you tried to say something to us.

You and your loved ones will continue to be in our prayers. We miss you.

German & Rosie Barrero

Dear Cid,
I'm so sorry to hear this. I was disconnected to Aveson news since the new school year 'cause my email address was wrong in the directory. I think i was the last person to know this bad news. I knew that Phil fell of the ladder from Banso but I did not know that serious and also i did not know he was your husband until I talked to Theresa ( Christina 's mom) last week. Banso loves Phil so much. She writes her prayers on every piece of papers she has.
All our best wishes to your family and hope to see his smile at Aveson soon.
Talk to you later,
-Linh

What amazing news! I am a huge believer in the power of prayer coupled with one person's will to survive....and, Phil - you are proving that to be a fact! Keep on doing your job getting well & we will keep doing our job praying for you & your family!

Phil-

I LOVED talking with you today. We are all so excited about your progress!! You made it known that you definitely prefer Van Halen to Decemberists that is for SURE! Miss you and can't wait to hear you tell your stories.

Love,
Amy

Mr. Tom said...

I miss you, buddy. It's been a while, what with your move and all.
Keep fighting. We believe in you. We think about you everyday. My little blue bracelet has never come off, not once.

Like I told you the last time I saw you, and I know you heard me. ---

My dearest Phil & Cyd;
How truly shocked I was to hear about what has happened to our fearless warrior. ALL our prayers and positive thoughts are with you both. I know that even though I am in MD and can't get to you right now, it doesn't mean that I don't ache inside. The Ralli family is praying for you both.

Hi Phil..... It's been a while.... sorry we haven't been in touch lately. Milan and I were thinking of you today and we went online and started to read Henri Nouwen's book, "Adam". (An old neighbor had lent the book to me some years back and we finally ordered our own copy) :) I know those around you would appreciate the message in this book.

Thank you for always making Alessandro feel like he belonged at Aveson. You were one of the angels that embraced him every time he came across your path and we have fond memories of your peaceful spirit protecting him.

God has blessed you and those around you in ways many would not understand. We have been blessed to have crossed your path. Hope to see you soon.

German, Rosie, Milan, Alessandro & Amelie
