Paul's Update - 06/25/06

Dear Friends:

We have had a pretty quiet weekend. Dad was gone a lot doing errands on Friday. Tabby, her Mom & Dora held down the fort. Paul was feeling about the same. He seems to respond better and better. He has lots of facial expression and says "hi" and "bye" most of the time. Tabby has been working more with Paul to do some sign language. He can sign "I love you" and "ok" pretty well. Audrey worked some with him too and told me that he can actually do about five different signs. Hopefully he will learn enough to start telling us what he needs!! Saturday is Starbucks day. They went around 8am and stayed until about 10am. Tabby's dad & grandma came later in the day and they went out to do errands & have lunch. Sunday was a rainy day ... everyone was sleepy or had headaches (including Paul). He sat up for a short while but was ready to go back to bed within a short time. He watched lots of TV and rested. Dad will start the physical therapy again on Monday after Paul goes to have his blood drawn. This test will be to determine the level of Dialantin in his body. Max goes to the doctor on Tuesday for his two week checkup. Tabby is starting to do job hunting since she will soon be laid off from her current job. Tabby's mom will be going back home at the end of the week. It has been such a blessing for her to be able to be here to help with Max. She will be missed!! Max is doing real well. He eats & sleeps pretty normally for a two week old!! He is adorable and we are enjoying him a bunch! Tabby is doing a great job as a new Mommy! Our family is well blessed!

Have a great week, Lynne & Carl
