Paul's Update - 03/22/06

Sorry this is late. I've been having problems with my shoulder and wasn't able to type last night.....here is Wednesday's update!

Dear Friends:

Paul's PT was scheduled for 9 a.m. today ... guess when meds came ... 9 a.m. These meds knock him out for about an hour or hour & a half. His PT & OT were cancelled today. This is frustrating since the medicines are interfering with his therapy. Speech went OK at 1pm. The therapist worked with him to cut cookie dough and put it on a cookie sheet. She cooked it for him. Dad didn't think it was right to make cookies and not eat them ... so he gave him a small taste :-) . The doctor said that he is going to do a complete "revamp" of all Paul's meds to see if he can get the right combination and have Paul be more alert and able to function. The meeting of the staff concluded that Paul will be at Mount Vernon until at least April 6. This is good news since we are still trying to get things ready for him to be at home. Thursday therapies will be at 11 am, 1 pm and 3 pm to see if Paul can function better.

Have a good day, Lynne & Carl
