Sean Dorsey, his struggle to live

Comment Up
Dennis Dorsey with his grandson Sean

Not expected to survive, Sean Dorsey, a student at the University of Florida, was diagnosed with bacterial meningitis. "He underwent surgeries to remove as much infection as possible and reduce the brain swelling, but doctors were forced to remove his right frontal lobe. Dorsey also suffered a stroke while in the emergency room, leaving him paralyzed on the left side of his body."

Sean is the grandson of Dennis and Doris Dorsey who stood by him every inch of the way with a lot of love. There were many prayers going on every day over the last few years and Sean believes that the power of prayer is what pulled him through.  He is now on his road to recovery, will be going  back to the University of Florida and plans on writing a book about his experience.

Read about Sean, this brave young man, in the Palm Beach Daily News (Shiny Sheet).

    Hi there, I'm a new reader here and can someone tell me just who are Dennis & Doris Dorsey? Do they live in LW? And why is this piece any more than a positive update for some kid going to UF?

    This blog writes about many issues, local, national and international.

    This is about a young man whose horrible ordeal was just printed in the Palm Beach Daily News. That paper thought it very worthy. He is the grandson of a former commissioner and mayor of our city...a grandfather who helped raise nearly $1 million dollars in scholarships for kids to go to college with the Lake Worth Alumni Dollars for Scholars.

    Business owner Jon Jordan is endorsing the incumbents and having a shindig at his Propaganda bar. He doesn't live here either. Is that more worthy of mention to you?"

    Dennis Dorsey was probably the best mayor Lake Worth has had in the last half century. He was not corrupt, which is really an exception to the rule around here, in particular when talking about Republicans. He really loved the city and knew that his job was to represent the people. He stood up to an arrogant and out of control police chief which few mayors and city managers will ever do, and he didn't let himself or the city or its people be bullied by any stupid developer or ambulance-chasing lawyer or anyone else. He was really for Lake Worth.

    Sean is an amazing young man.It is a miracle that he is still alive,much less going back to college.I can't imagine what he and his family have had to endure.Sean has an amazing future ahead of him ,and he does so with countless blessings sent his way. Not enough can be said about Dennis and Doris Dorsey and their amazing contributions to Lake Worth.
