Paul's Update - 02/20/06

Dear Friends:

We are back from our weekend at my sister's. Since my mother will be moving to the house down the street from my sister in a couple of weeks, we went down to help with some work that needed to be done in the house. It was a "work" weekend but we enjoyed spending time with Ann & John. We got back into the area late this afternoon and went straight to the nursing home. Bobby & Tabby were there and said that things were pretty quiet today but they did have a fair Physical Therapy time. The speech therapist was able to get Paul to blow the whistle a couple of times and he did it really loud. But he gets a "repetitive" action and tries to blow on everything after that. According to the therapist that is common with head injury patients. He also was able to use a large walker and take several steps with it. This is probably better that the parallel bars and will allow him to go farther when he is able. Tuesday Paul goes back to the orthopedist to find out what the course of action will be for the plate and pins in his left foot. No word from Mount Vernon yet but since Monday was a holiday it is not surprising. We are as ready as we can be for the next part of the recovery!! Have a great "short" week ... well at least for some of us!

Love, Lynne & Carl
