Paul's Update - 06/04/06

Dear Friends:

Today was a sleepy day for Paul. He actually slept a large portion of the day. He has been running a bit of a fever as well. He is taking medicines for the urinary tract infection but he may be coming down with something else. Tabby was not feeling good today either. She had more false labor and was up a lot during Saturday night. Dad came over around 5am to help her with Paul. The CNA doesn't come until 7am on the weekends so Dad had a couple of hours of extra duty today. Paul seems to have a pretty good appetite when he finally says he is hungry and he gets plenty of fluids throughout the day. Tonight he had a choice between macaroni & beef or tuna noodle casserole ... he loves both but he chose the macaroni and beef without hesitation! He continues to say "ou" a lot but Tabby said that she heard him say "hi" the other day ... it would be nice to see him go back to making words again. Hopefully the speech therapist will start working on that soon! Monday Dad & Tabby are going to take the van to the Area Access location in Falls Church so that the customization can be done on Tuesday. We are looking forward to that being done ... it will make life so much easier! Thursday this week will be the neurologist appointment to follow-up from the seizure episode. We are hoping he will review the medicines and possibly recommend something that won't make Paul so sluggish.

Have a great week! Lynne & Car
