Guess what? Just found out some more info on our New Jersey patient number one, from, get this: messages from a Broadway director, Marianne Elliott, to her friend Patti Lupone! Found this in the NY times.

The Show’s Delayed, but They’re Still Keeping ‘Company’ https://nyti.ms/3bAiEY2


Here are the excerpts that relate to our patient:

April 13

"My friend who has been on a ventilator for nearly four weeks now is part of a very new drug trial, Pluristem. He’s just gone on it, and he’s making the news! The new drug is a sort of stem-cell therapy. It comes from placentas! Can you believe it?

He’s doing well! It’s literally Day Two on the drug, but he had a few hours yesterday off the ventilator and breathing himself! I’m praying. Every time I go jogging, I fill my lungs as I run, as though I was teaching him how to breathe again. I dunno. Anything. I’m trying anything. Ridiculous, but what can you do?"

"Hi Patti,

I have to tell you that my friend, the one that was on the ventilator for FIVE weeks, has made an amazing recovery. You may know him, Eddie Pierce? He codesigned my set of “Angels in America” on Broadway. Such an amazing guy and so talented. Younger than me and no complicated health circumstances that I know of. Anyway, he’d been through so much in hospital, was sedated most of the time, caught other infections while in hospital, and they even thought at one time that he’d had a stroke! It was not looking good, P.

Well, he came home yesterday! His wife sent a video of him leaving the hospital. With all the staff, standing in awe, clapping as he left the front entrance, and his children running to hug him. Then there was another video of his friends welcoming him arriving at the house. It was incredible. They had gathered in their cars, in a nearby parking lot, and then PROCESSED together down his street, honking their horns. They couldn’t get out, obviously, so they held out huge, homemade, colored signs to be read as they passed. Some had painted their cars, some had got dressed up in fancy dress, some stood on their car doors. It was like watching a carnival.

He’ll need a bit of physio, but otherwise he’s totally on the mend. Seems like a miracle. Things that you can’t believe can ever come about can indeed occur. Keep the faith.

Love love love
