Paul's Update - 12/16/05

Dear Friends:

We continue to wait for Paul to recover from his most recent surgery & the insertion of the umbrella device to catch any possible blood clots. He was sleeping most of the day and didn't respond much except to pain. This weekend could prove to be an opportunity for him to recover without any interruptions for procedures. We hope to see improvement by Monday when the social worker is coming to evaluate whether Paul is ready to go to rehab or if he will need to be in a nursing home until he is ready for rehab. We certainly hope to be able to go to rehab!! Today is the completion of six weeks in the hospital. We are most certainly glad that Paul has made as much progress as he has. Please continue your prayer...it works! Please also keep the family in prayer as our nerves are frayed and we are frustrated easily. Many folks have asked if there is a way to make donations to Paul & Tabby to help with expenses. Our church has a fund that you can donate to if you wish. You can mail a check to:

St. Mark's United Methodist Church
7803 Well St.
Manassas, VA 20111

Mark the memo section "Paul Johnson". All donations will go 100% to Paul & Tabitha. Thanks for your concern! Have a great weekend!

Love, Lynne & Carl
