TRINITY Last Thanksgiving Day, Trinity teenager Caleb Dulin lay motionless in an intensive-care hospital bed, seemingly tethered to every flashing, beeping piece of technology in the room. With Caleb in a medically induced coma after a car crash nearly a month earlier that had left him in critical condition, the sophisticated equipment monitored, regulated and operated his bodily functions, from the bolt monitoring his brain pressure to the dialysis machine doing the job of his kidneys. The most critical of those instruments was the ECMO — extracorporeal membrane oxygenation — machine that kept Caleb alive by supporting his heart and lungs, which were too weak to function on their own. Without ECMO, Caleb would’ve already been dead. The thing about ECMO, though, is that it’s intended as a short-term life-support device, typically used for a week or so. Although a patient can remain on ECMO for several weeks if necessary, the risk of complications rises with each passing day. By Thanksgiving, Caleb had already been on ECMO for three weeks, and it didn’t appear doctors would be able to take him off the technology any time soon. From across the room, David and Shana Dulin could only watch and pray as their youngest son unconsciously fought for his life. Caleb had contracted pneumonia and was battling acute respiratory distress syndrome, a life-threatening lung condition. “It was horrible,” David said. “Once he got on ECMO, it was day-to-day and minute-to-minute. By Thanksgiving Day, it just didn’t look good.” Then things got worse. On Thanksgiving, as a team was trying to place an arterial line, Caleb had a seizure and a small amount of bleeding in his brain. He survived the ordeal, but needless to say, it was not the happiest of Thanksgivings for the Dulin family. Caleb’s scary journey began, appropriately, on Halloween — Oct. 31, 2023 — as he was driving home from Wheatmore High School that afternoon. As he drove along Finch Farm Road in Trinity, he crossed the center line, ran off the road, struck a concrete culvert and overturned. Investigators were unable to determine what caused Caleb, who was 16 at the time, to lose control of the vehicle. Caleb, now 17, has no memory of that day. His parents, however, remember it vividly. David, a training coordinator for the High Point Police Department, received a call from another Wheatmore parent who had driven past the accident scene and realized it was Caleb. “Caleb’s been in an accident,” he told David. “You need to come now — it’s not good.” David rushed to his car and called Shana along the way to notify her. She had driven past the crash site but hadn’t realized her son was involved. When she got turned around and headed toward High Point Medical Center — where Caleb was being taken — she wrecked, too, although it was not serious. Caleb had a traumatic brain injury and was soon sent to Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center in Winston-Salem. The prognosis was grim. Doctors put him in a medically induced coma to help his brain heal. Within the first few days, though, Caleb developed pneumonia and acute respiratory distress syndrome. Doctors put him on the ECMO machine, and he would stay on it for 51 days. During that time, either David or Shana — and often both — remained with their son around the clock. “We were talking to him and played music for him,” Shana said. “We prayed over him every night.” They also read him the countless cards, emails and texts of support sent from his Wheatmore classmates, from friends and other family members, and from members of the Dulins’ church, Mount Zion Wesleyan in Thomasville. Support also came from David’s coworkers at the police department and from Shana’s fellow teachers at Hopewell Elementary School in Trinity. Fundraisers were organized to help with the family’s medical expenses. Despite the overwhelming community support, David remembers that time as some of the darkest days of his life. “It got to the point where we had to decide” whether or not to take Caleb off of ECMO, he recalled. “We had prayed for him to live, and we had prayed for God to take him if that was His will. Finally, I prayed a specific prayer: ‘Lord, your word teaches us that your sheep know your voice, but I don’t hear you. Is it time to take him off ECMO?’ Within 30 minutes, Caleb moved for the first time in, like, 50 days.” On Dec. 30 — two months after the accident — Caleb was removed from ECMO. A month later, he would leave the hospital and head to Shepherd Center, a rehabilitation facility in Atlanta that specializes in brain injuries. At Shepherd Center, he did inpatient physical therapy for nearly two months and outpatient therapy slightly longer. “He literally had to relearn everything,” David explained. “Speaking. Swallowing. Blinking. Walking. Talking. Breathing. Using the restroom. Taking a shower. Bathing himself. Combing his hair. Brushing his teeth. It was amazing to me how much his body had to relearn.” Caleb agreed. “I was like a baby being born again,” he said. “I couldn’t do anything.” Caleb, who was already skinny before the accident, lost 30-40 pounds from being on a feeding tube, so he also had to try to regain some of that weight. Caleb remembers his rehab days as frustrating. “The whole time, I felt like I was taking two steps back when I wanted to go forward,” he said. “I felt like I was never going forward.” That seemed especially true with the use of his hands. “I like to draw and play video games,” Caleb said. “I’m right-handed, but at first I could barely twitch my right hand, so that was scary. I was wondering if I would ever be able to draw again or play video games.” One thing that uplifted Caleb during his rehab occurred in February, when the student body at Wheatmore held a pep rally for him. With Caleb watching a livestream of the event from Atlanta, students cheered for him and waved posters of support. Caleb completed his outpatient therapy in late May and is quickly getting his life back to a sense of normalcy. In August, he returned to school at Wheatmore, where he’s now a junior. He has regained his ability to draw and play video games. He has also begun speaking at area churches, sharing his experience of what he believes God has done for him. “The Bible says if God gives you a story, share that story with others,” Caleb said. “He saved my life, so I want to bring praise to Him for that.” David and Shana share that sense of gratitude and looked forward to celebrating Thanksgiving this year. “We’re thankful to God, and we’re thankful to the community for their overwhelming support,” David said. “We’re especially grateful that we still have our son. He was in critical condition for Halloween, for Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year’s, our 25th wedding anniversary and three of our children’s birthdays. So when I say we’re going to celebrate this holiday as a family, and for him to be doing as well as he is, ... yeah, we’re grateful.” Jtomlin@hpenews.com | 336-888-3579

New York Jets running back Breece Hall sat out practice Wednesday with an injured knee and it's uncertain if he'll play Sunday against Seattle. Interim coach Jeff Ulbrich said Hall hurt the knee in the on Nov. 17, but was able to finish the game. Hall experienced some soreness, so the team is being cautious with its leading rusher. “We’re going to protect him from himself a little bit today, but we’ll see how the week goes along,” Ulbrich said. “Still hopeful that he’s going to play for us, but we’ll see.” Hall has 632 yards rushing and four touchdowns, along with 46 catches for 401 yards and two scores for the Jets, who were holding their first full practice since returning from their bye-week break. Rookies Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis would likely fill in if Hall can't play. Left tackle Tyron Smith remains sidelined with a neck injury and Ulbrich acknowledged Smith could be a candidate for the injured reserve list. Smith, in his first season with New York after 13 in Dallas, missed the game against the Colts after leaving the Jets' loss in Arizona with the neck injury. Rookie Olu Fashanu would be in line to start again in Smith's place. “Just not enough improvement at this point,” Ulbrich said of Smith. “It’s really become apparent that we might have to do what’s best for Tyron in that way. But (we're) still collecting information.” Ulbrich said Smith, whose injury hasn't been specified, has been splitting his time between being at the facility and having exams elsewhere. “He's getting stuff done,” Ulbrich said. “He's got the best doctors on Earth working with him.” The Jets could get linebacker in his neck that sidelined him the past four games. Mosley, who was injured during pregame warmups on Oct. 27, fully practiced Wednesday. “He's going to give it a run,” Ulbrich said before practice. “We're going to see what it looks like. ... And then tomorrow will be the big test. You know, get pads on him, get him to contact and see how he responds with that. If things go well, which I’m hopeful they will, he’ll go. If not, he won’t.” Wide receiver Malachi Corley didn't practice because of an illness and cornerback Quan'tez Stiggers was out for personal reasons. Offensive lineman Xavier Newman was limited after having his practice window opened. Newman has been on injured reserve since hurting his neck at Pittsburgh last month and being taken to the hospital. ___ AP NFL: Dennis Waszak Jr., The Associated Press

Big tech companies are investing heavily in artificial intelligence (AI) to see which is a better buy right now. Nvidia is the largest company in the world, valued at US$3.35 trillion by . It is a leader in AI hardware, as its graphics processing units, or GPUs, are used to train AI models such as ChatGPT. These GPUs are optimized for deep learning tasks, which makes them essential for data centres looking to implement AI solutions. Its new-age chips enable faster computation and efficient processing of complex algorithms, allowing Nvidia to lead this chip market with a share of over 80%. Notably, the tech giant has created a robust software ecosystem. For instance, the Nvidia AI Enterprise is a software platform that provides tools to build and deploy AI applications effectively. These integrations allow companies to leverage Nvidia’s technologies and accelerate AI initiatives easily. Dell has made giant strides in establishing itself as a critical player in the AI infrastructure market. It recently launched the Dell AI Factory to simplify and enhance enterprise AI adoption. In fact, the Dell AI Factory has partnered with Nvidia to offer AI technologies for model training and deployment. Dell is one of the largest companies in the AI infrastructure market, given its offerings help configure diverse AI workloads. In the last few quarters, Dell has noted a significant increase in AI server sales due to growing demand across multiple sectors. Dell competes with other companies . Nvidia is among the hottest stocks on the planet, surging over 2,000% in the last five years. Dell’s shares have also outpaced the broader markets, surging by over 450% since November 2019. However, the growth story for both these tech stocks is far from over. Analysts tracking Nvidia expect it to grow sales from US$60.9 billion in fiscal 2024 (ended in January) to US$129.1 billion in fiscal 2025 and US$194.2 billion in 2026. Comparatively, adjusted earnings are forecast to expand from US$1.29 per share in fiscal 2024 to US$2.95 per share in 2025 and US$4.41 per share in 2026. So, priced at 31.1 times forward earnings, Nvidia stock trades at a premium. Comparatively, Wall Street expects Dell’s sales to rise from US$88.4 billion in fiscal 2024 to US$96.2 billion in 2025 and US$105.8 billion in 2026. Its earnings are projected to grow from US$7.13 in 2024 to US$9.44 in 2026. So, priced at 14.8 times , DELL stock trades at a lower multiple than Nvidia. Both Nvidia and Dell remain crucial to the AI market. While Dell trades at a lower multiple, it is positioned to grow adjusted earnings faster than its peers. Comparatively, Nvidia remains at the epicentre of this megatrend and benefits from pricing power due to a robust product portfolio and an expanding ecosystem.
