Paul's Update - 01/29/06

Dear Friends:

As I said before, weekends are pretty quiet. Today was very quiet. We had some visitors but Paul was not very active. He would wake up and move around a bit but he wasn't up much. Tabby took a break and did some work at home today. Bobby took the day away too. It was a good day to rest for all of us. We certainly do enjoy having our friends come to visit though. Paul's boss & his wife came by to visit, also some friends from church. Tabby tried to call the doctor today but we never got a response. The doctor was not on call today so we will have to wait for tomorrow to hear what he wants to do about the shunt. This week we will be looking at another trip to Fair Oaks Hospital to have the IVC filter (the umbrella to catch blood clots) turned. This prevents it from becoming embedded in Paul's vein and becoming permanent. The other thing we expect to happen this week is the change of the trach to a talking trach. That could happen as early as Monday. He isn't trying to do any talking yet but it would be nice for him to be able to when he's ready! Have a great week!

Love, Lynne & Carl
