Paul's Update - 08/22/06

Dear Friends:

Not much changes from day to day. Paul continues to have little desire to do anything. It is challenging to get him up from bed and yet ... it is hard to see him be in bed so much. We continue to pray that the decrease in medicines will begin to make a difference soon! Dad tries to get him up a little each day but it is difficult. He enjoys being up and he likes going outside when he can. Dad & Tabby have been busy laying laminate floor in the basement so that it will be easier to move Paul around with the wheelchair. Paul likes to watch from his bed since he can see right into the kitchen area. Monday they got Max's room and part of the kitchen. Tuesday started out with a trip to the lab to have Paul's blood drawn. After they got back it was a nice enough day to sit outside for a couple hours. By lunch Paul was tired and Dad put him back in the bed. We haven't been seeing the therapists lately so it was a quiet day. Dad & Tabby continued to work on the floor and finished the kitchen and started Paul & Tabby's room. Paul was in a better mood and didn't fight Dad or Tabby much. The plan for Wednesday is to try to take Paul on an outing to Starbucks. He enjoys his Starbucks and this could be a refreshing outing for him.

Have a great day, Lynne & Carl
