KEEPING YOU UP TO
DATE ON MARK ROTH

This is an advisory for all Mark Roth fans: Mark's wife Denise has advised that Mark was transferred today to St. Luke Health Services, 299 E. River Rd., Oswego, NY 13126 where he will continue his battle to regain body functions in the wake of his recent stroke.

Denise Roth noted St. Luke is a "sub-acute" rehab center. During Mark's three-week stay in the "acute" center in Syracuse, his treatment was focused on regaining as much function as possible. Denise said that as of Monday, Mark had regained a little movement in the fingers on his left hand, and a little movement in his left arm, where there had been none. He also has been able to walk up to 100 feet with the assistance of walking devices.

She noted there is no long-term prognosis at this time about the level of function Mark will regain, but his doctors are hopeful because he is relatively young and athletic. But, she said, "It's going to be a long, slow process."
