Paul's Update - 04/18/06

Dear Friends:

Today was Paul's appointment with the neurologist. He told Dad that he doesn't believe that the motion sickness medicine will help with headaches and dizziness. Since Paul is going to the ophthalmologist on Friday he wants to see a report on the doctors findings before he tries to treat with any more medicines except Tylenol or Advil. After the doctor appointment Dad, Tabby & Paul went to the DMV to take care of registering the new van into Tabby's name. They were able to get a handicap tag that Tabby can hang on the mirror of the vehicle Paul is riding in that will enable them to park in the Handicap parking spaces wherever they go. Tabby decided after that it would be a good day to go to Paul's work and visit his coworkers. Everyone enjoyed seeing him and he seemed to enjoy the visit. They also made a stop at Burger King and got shakes. Paul really enjoyed that. He wouldn't even stop sucking on the straw to tell Tabby that he liked it ... he just said "uh huh". Paul took his meds by swallowing them whole today. Tabby has to remind him not to chew but he does well with it. Dad finally got a call from the speech therapist today. She said she could come Wednesday or Friday but Dad told her this week is not good since we have doctor appointments and surgery this week. It figures she would call during one of the busiest weeks. She will plan to come either Monday or Tuesday next week. Wednesday is surgery ... Paul has to be at the hospital at 8am and the surgery is scheduled for 11:30am. Another long day for Paul. This should be the last surgery he will have. Please pray that all will go well, the doctor will be able to get all the pins and screws in his foot and that he will heal quickly! Have a great day.

Love, Lynne & Carl
