Paul's Update - 03/04/06

Today was probably the worst day for Paul in a long time. He isn't interested in doing anything. He doesn't cooperate with the therapists or respond to much of anything we ask him. Although he does some things very well and appears to know us there are lots of times that he doesn't respond to things the way he was a little over a week ago. Dad said he held his head up a little better today but it was a struggle to get him to stand up when PT came. We are a little concerned that Paul isn't feeling well. Tabby asked the doctor to move up the CAT scan that was scheduled for Wednesday. So we will be doing that on Sunday. We are a little concerned that there may be a problem with the shunt again. The CAT scan can tell us whether or not there is something to worry about. Since Paul has been so non-responsive and sleeping so much there is reason to think it needs to be looked at. Sunday is a quiet day anyway … no therapy. If it isn't a shunt problem at least Paul will be able to rest for the day. Thanks for your continued prayer. We pray that Paul's doctor will have great wisdom in determining whether there is a problem hindering his recovery!

Blessings, Lynne & Carl
