Dear Friends:
Well ... it looks like we are moving again ... this time to Mount Vernon Rehab Center. This is what we've been praying for and I understand they have a great record of success with head injury patients. Today started off slow. Paul wasn't feeling well again today. Dad asked him a series of questions to see if we could pin down what was bothering him. He seems to have a stomach ache which the nurse was trying to take care of today. But when Grandma Johnson came in he was awake and when she asked him if he knew who she was he nodded YES!! What a blessing for Grandma! The x-ray tech came in and did the foot x-ray this afternoon around 1:30. The woman from Mount Vernon showed up about the same time. Tabby had just gotten there as well. The lady from Mount Vernon got to witness Paul kissing Tabby!! She was amazed that he did that! It really says a LOT!! She went down and talked to the staff therapists and they told her all the things that Paul has done for them. We don't really know how the conversation went but she came back up and told Tabby that as soon as they have a bed ... maybe Monday ... they would move Paul. We were also told today that as soon as the nursing home gets the new trach in (downsized from a size 6 to a 4) they will be putting that in. That is the last step before they take out the trach completely. This trach will allow him to breath through his mouth and nose more but still leaves the option of suctioning him. He is still struggling with swallowing and the rehab center will work with him more on that. The results of the CT came today and Dr. Azzam said everything is working well and he was pleased with what he saw!! Thank God! So PT wasn't great today ... but we had a pretty good day! Praise God for our many blessings!!
Love, Lynne & Carl
