“Remarkable” Progress
COLUMBIA, SC – The family of Bob Coble released the following statement from Providence Hospital this afternoon.
“The progress has been remarkable. This week, Dad regained consciousness and has been sitting up, asking for his phone, so he can get back to work. Our family and his medical team now expect a full recovery.
We recognize that Dad has a lot of friends, colleagues and supporters who want to visit him — but it’s still too soon. He still needs time to rest.”
-Daniel Coble
