Paul's Update - 06/07/06

Dear Friends:

Dad got to the house during Paul's bath this morning so he decided it was a good day to go and get a haircut. Dad is fighting a cold so he only went downstairs when Paul had to go to the bathroom most of the day. Tabby & Dora took care of Paul. At 2pm Dad went to get the van. Bobby got a cab to take Dad to Falls Church. The chairlift is really nice and Paul got to try it out once it was home. Dad talked to the folks at Access about using the $300 credit to purchase a carrier that mounts to the back of the van to carry the wheelchair when it comes. He has to go to pick it up on Thursday. Tabby went to her doctor and he said she is now 1.5 centimeters dilated. He feels she could go into labor anytime. Thursday is the neurologist appointment. Tabby wants to talk to the doctor about either changing the medicine or reducing the medicine he is currently taking to minimize the affect it is having on him. Dad said he was very hard to move around today. He seems to get dizzy and doesn't want to stand up ... then once he is up he doesn't want to walk. He even attempts to sit down before he is near the wheelchair. It is all Dad can do to hold him up and keep him from falling to the floor. Thank goodness Dad is strong enough to handle him most of the time. Please pray that the doctor has wisdom about what to do for Paul!

Love & Hugs, Lynne & Carl
