Paul's Update - 06/17/06

Dear Friends:

Today was yet another fairly good day. Paul seems to be a little stronger but still has some difficulty walking from time to time. Dad headed over to the house around 3:30am. Once he checks on Paul he gets a chance to lay on the couch and doze a little. Audrey comes in about 8am to start her 16 hour day. Dad said that Paul was outside for a little this afternoon but he didn't stay out long since it was in the 90's today. Paul, Dad & Bobby were able to get out this evening and come to the Father & Son banquet at the church. Paul enjoyed the outing and ate a really good BBQ dinner with coleslaw, potato salad and beans. He even got to go outside for a bit and watch some of the other men play horseshoes. It was really nice for Dad to have his two boys with him. Unfortunately, Billy had to work and Max is too young yet to take for that kind of outing. Next year he can come!! Paul got his very first Father's Day card from Max.(delivered via Nana Richard!). What a special blessing! After getting home Paul was tired. Dad got him in the bed and he watched some TV. The Mummy was playing ... he enjoys that movie! Tabby was able to go out this evening with her parents to celebrate Father's day with her Dad. It is her first real outing since she came home (minus going to doctor appointments). Sunday will be a quiet day mostly. We will probably spend some family time but it is possible that Dad & I will get away for some time together. What a busy week it has been ... full of trials and blessings. But through it all this is a very blessed Father's day!

Love, Lynne & Carl
