Paul's Update - 11/28/06

Dear Friends:

Most of the days are quiet lately. With Dad working on the kitchen there is not much opportunity to have Paul out of bed and walking. Tabby works with him to sit up, adjust himself in bed and try to say new sounds. His use of the right hand has become better and more consistent. He seems very alert most times although we occasionally see things remind us that he is not always sure of what to do. He continues to improve albeit slowly. Tabby said that Paul had a headache today. We are not seeing signs of seizures ... which we are grateful for! Dad is mostly concerned that Paul's balance doesn't seem to get much better. It is apparent that Paul will take most likely years ... not months to heal. God's time is certainly not what we prefer but we continue to believe that he will be healed. Wednesday Paul has an appointment to have his blood drawn. This will continue to be done for some time since the medicines have to be monitored to make sure they are still working effectively. As I said we are seeing nothing but good things and we believe that his meds are proper at this time. I pray that we won't have to make any more adjustments for a while!

Have a great day! Lynne & Carl

Dear Friends:

Friday was a busy day for all. Tabby, Carolyn & Jen left early to go shopping (black Friday ya know!). Some of us are not as excited about getting up at 5am to hit the stores to find the "deals" but they went and had a successful day of Christmas shopping. Dad went over to make sure the nurse got there and then he headed home to work a bit on the kitchen. Aunt Cathy, Aunt Ann & I went over and fed Paul his lunch. He was having a good day and enjoyed his lunch. We visited for a bit and when it was time to leave he was able to say "bye". He has been very alert lately ... which we are grateful for!! Since Nana, Aunt Ann & Uncle John were here from South Carolina, my sister Cathy wanted to get together and do something as a family. Well ... sorta ... eight of us went to the theater in Centreville and saw a movie. Paul stayed home with Bobby, Jen & Dora. Max had gone to visit Grandma & Grandpa Smith (Tabby's Mom & Dad). They kept him for the weekend. While Tabby was gone she had a contractor come and install a privacy fence around the back of her house. Because she lives on the corner of a very busy road there is not much privacy and there was no place for Max & the puppy to play safely when they are able to do that. It looks great and will make her backyard a nice place to gather. Saturday was a quiet day for Paul & Tabby. The weekend nurse comes right on time. She really enjoys her job and Tabby likes her a lot. She was a little sad that Max was gone for the weekend because she really enjoys playing with him. Dad was working on the kitchen all day. Tabby was able to get out and do some errands by leaving Gladys at the house with Paul. Saturday night Dad & Uncle John went over and played some Rummy with Tabby. This has become a fun thing for Tabby & Dad lately. Sunday was my birthday. After church we went over to Paul's to spend time as a family. It was nice to have all my kids there! Of course we watched the Redskins Football game. Paul came upstairs and watched with us. Tabby's parents brought Max home. Tabby was VERY glad to have him home! Birthdays are traditionally a time that we all go out to dinner (birthday person's choice!). We went to Cracker Barrel for dinner and had a wonderful time. All were stuffed! What a wonderful end to a great holiday weekend. I pray that you had time with family this weekend and that it was as wonderful as ours was. Our Thanksgiving was a time to truly thankful for! Paul will go back to the doctor to have his blood drawn this week. It appears that he has adjusted well to the deletion of the Dilantin and the Trileptol is doing it's job. Now we will be in the "maintenance" mode as long as Paul doesn't have any more seizures. Thanks for your continued prayer ... God has certainly been doing great works in Paul!!

Have a great week! Lynne & Carl

Dear Friends:

Wednesday was another day without Dad for Tabby & Paul. Thank goodness that Dora is a faithful nurse. Dad spent the day working on the kitchen with John. I was sick all day and evidently so was Jimmy. They made lots of progress and soon I will have a fully functional kitchen. Thanksgiving day was a busy day for all. Dad got to Paul's early ... and WITH Starbucks ... (we were afraid they would be closed). Dad stayed at Paul's while Tabby went to Carolyn's to prepare "Tom" ... the great big Turkey we were going to partake of. We all went to Carolyn & Billy's for dinner. We had seventeen people for dinner. Paul walked (with Dad's assistance) to the front door and up the one step into the house. He did really good. He was able to sit in the living room and watch the football game with Billy's dad, Jim and the rest of the family. Tabby's parents and her grandmother came. It was really nice to have all of our family together. Max had two grandmothers, two grandfathers, and two great grandmothers in the house. It was a great celebration of family and we certainly have lots to be thankful for this year. In the midst of all the difficulties we have had ... God has blessed us in so many ways. We are certainly grateful for you ... our friends and loved ones who have been by our side throughout all of this year. God bless....

Love and Hugs, Lynne & Carl

Dear Friends:

What a wonderful day. Paul's 26th birthday. Tabby said Paul had mostly a quiet day. Dad was gone all day after going over to take Paul his Starbucks and let the nurse in. The kitchen is beginning to take shape. It should only be a few more days for it to be done. Tonight we took Paul out for dinner at the Japanese Steak house in Manassas. Paul was feeling pretty good. Before we left Uncle Jimmy called to wish Paul a happy birthday. Paul took the phone & put it up to his ear and said "hello". He listened intently and responded when Uncle Jimmy talked to him. He appeared to be having a conversation. He wouldn't give up the phone when Tabby tried to take it ... I guess he wasn't done with his conversation!! When he was done he held out the phone for someone to take. After he was done it was time to go out for dinner. Aunt Ann, Uncle John & Nana arrived today and were coming along with Bobby, Jen, Carolyn, Dad & me, Tabby, Paul & Max. Paul enjoyed dinner and after we finished eating the waitress brought Paul a hat made of balloons & an ice cream sundae for his birthday. They sang "Happy Birthday" to him. He had one candle to blow out. He had a bit of difficulty at first but he blew out the candle. It was so fun and Paul seemed to enjoy himself. I'm enclosing a link to some pictures! What a blessing to celebrate another birthday with Paul. It certainly takes on a special importance for all of us.

Have a great Thanksgiving!! Lynne & Carl

Paul's Update - 11/20/06

Dear Friends:

Dad went over this morning as usual with Paul's Starbucks. Once the nurse was there he left to work on the kitchen. Dad went back this evening. He was walking good when Dad was there but it is difficult to get him up much when it is just Tabby & Dora. At dinner Paul tried to use his knife to cut his chicken. He doesn't have enough strength to do that but he knew that he needed to do a "sawing" action to cut it. Everything seems to be going well for Paul. The med change doesn't seem to have any adverse affects and we pray that things will stay that way. Tuesday we will be celebrating Paul's 26th birthday. We certainly feel like it is a day to celebrate!! We will take him out to dinner and enjoy spending time with our family! As we count our blessings this Thanksgiving we certainly have lots to be thankful for!

Have a great day! Lynne & Carl

Paul's Update - 11/19/06

Dear Friends:

The last several days have been mostly quiet. With Carl working on our kitchen it has been difficult to keep track of Paul's days. His Dilantin was discontinued on Wednesday night. Since that time he has had very good days. He is alert and willing to work on the things that Tabby is encouraging him to do. We are hearing new sounds on a regular basis. None of them are voluntary yet but he will repeat the sounds that Tabby makes. She encourages him so much and will continue to work with him until he masters the sounds. He can say "ay", "ee", "oh", "oo", "I", "my", "eh" and with encouragement he can say "bye". He has been walking with Tabby & the nurse since Dad has been gone. They take him by each arm and walk beside him. He still has lots of balance problems but he walks pretty good. Tabby is also encouraging him to use his right hand most of the time. She gives him his drink in the right hand and makes him pull up his covers with that hand. She works with hand exercises each day. His right arm is still a bit weak and stiff and so she is now having him try to lift his arm up and out. Hopefully this will strengthen the muscles in that arm. This afternoon she made him reach out to take his water bottle. When he got close to it Tabby would move it a bit farther to make him reach more. When we get him back in bed Tabby makes him get himself in and position himself. He really does well by himself. Friday Tabby took a trip to visit Paul's work. Everyone there was excited to see Max. Tabby said you haven't lived until you see a bunch of biker types cooing over a baby!! Today we were able to spend some time at Paul's after church. Paul came upstairs to watch the football game. It was nice to have everyone in the living room visiting! I've enclosed a link to some pictures. Max now has a Redskins outfit to watch the game with Uncle Bob! Thanks for keeping Paul in prayer as we go through the reducing of his medicines. We aren't totally out of the woods yet ... but each day that goes by gives us hope that we finally have the right combination of medicines!

Have a great week!! Lynne & Carl

Paul's Update - 11/15/06

Dear Friends:

Paul had a good day today. Dad went early to get Paul up and let the nurse in. He had to come home so that we could go to court. It turned out that we didn't actually need to be there because the guy was going to plead guilty to felony hit and run. Since I had the day off Carl and I did some errands and then I came back to the house to help him do some measurements for the drywall that he will install in the kitchen on Thursday. Carl and I went out for lunch together (that was nice!) and afterwards Carl headed to Paul's house. I ran some more errands and then headed over to Paul's to help out with Max so that Tabby could go to the grocery store and Carl could go and purchase drywall. Paul was alert and very interactive today. Tabby practiced with the hand movements again today. Paul is able to touch each finger with his thumb on his right hand. He is getting more dexterity with that hand. He still has to think hard before he can do it but he doesn't give up! Tabby also worked with sounds again today. Paul is getting better at making different sounds and being able to use them one after the other. We still only have one syllable sounds but with practice maybe he will eventually progress to multiple syllable sounds! Uncle Jimmy came by today to visit and go with Dad to Home Depot. He came in and went to shake Paul's hand, Paul reached up with his right hand and shook hands with him. Paul seems to be in pretty good spirits lately and we see a bit more facial movement. It isn't much but it is nice when we see a bit of a smile. Tabby got a call from the neurologist tonight. He told Tabby to go ahead and reduce the Dilantin. This will eliminate Dilantin from his medicines completely. Dad will stay over at Paul's house for the next couple nights while we go through the first 48 hours of decreased meds. Please pray that Paul will continue to be safe from seizures as we go through this process. He has done so good the last couple of weeks and we don't want any more setbacks!
Have a great day! Lynne & Carl

Paul's Update - 11/14/06

Dear Friends:

Dad went over this morning to let the nurse in and then headed back home. He worked on the kitchen all day. Tabby worked some more on speech today. She was getting him to say "eee" and "aayy", she tried to get him to say Mom. He was close but still needs to work on it some more. What a nice blessing it would be to hear him say "Mom". I miss hearing that! She worked with the hand movements again. He is getting pretty good but isn't always consistent with what she asks him to do. She doesn't give up on him ... she works until he gets it right! Tabby got a call from the contractor that she is working with to get her yard fenced. She wants it fenced from the front corner of the house around to the back of the property. Since they live on a corner of a busy street this will be necessary to keep Max and the puppy safe when they are out in the yard!! The zoning approval is done and the fence should be in before Thanksgiving. Still no word from the doctor's office. We are hoping to hear something by tomorrow. Dad & I will be gone part of the day on Wednesday to go to court. We are witnesses to an accident that happened in front of our home a couple of months ago. It is possible we will be doing a medicine reduction by Wednesday night if we hear back from the doctor. Please continue to pray for Paul as we prepare for another change.

Have a great day! Lynne & Carl

Paul's Update - 11/13/06

Dear Friends:

Saturday Dad went to Paul's to give him his tea and then went back home to work on the kitchen. Tabby was at home with Paul and the new nurse, Gladys. She is a wonderful lady and Tabby really likes her. She was quite moved by Paul's condition and she prays for him a lot. Gladys also likes helping Paul to walk and she helped Tabby get Paul to the bathroom several times. Tabby had to go out to get some things for Paul and Gladys was willing to keep Max for that time as well. She also likes to clean (something much needed!!) She cleaned dishes and the kitchen looks really good. Later in the evening Tabby & Paul went out for dinner to Akasaka Japanese Steak House with Ty & Laura from across the street. Paul really enjoys the Japanese Steak houses! Sunday was a rainy day. Paul & Tabby stayed home and watched movies. They watched Home Along ... they enjoy that one! Tabby constantly encourages Paul to use his right hand and he was able to open his juice can with right hand. She also has him do hand exercises to make his right hand stronger and get more dexterity. Monday Dad arrived early with Paul's tea (of course). Dad had a doctor appointment to go to this morning. It was a quiet day. Many of our days are pretty much the same. This evening Tabby was working with Paul to make sounds ... lots of sounds. She got him to do aayy, eeee, aahhh, ooo and ohhh. She tried to get him to do vvaaa and shhhh but he couldn't master those. He was able to blow out a lighter which makes him move his mouth in the round position to make the sshhh sound so maybe with more practice he can do that soon. She was also able to get him to put his lower lip to his top teeth to make the vvaaa sound ... he couldn't quite do the sound but he is able to make his mouth ready!! Then she worked with his hands. He is able to do the vulcan sign with both hands, he can also hold his two middle fingers together and move out the forefinger and the pinky from them. He can also do the "I love you" sign and the "thumbs up". Tabby is trying to get him to do these motions with both hands at the same time and also do separate motions with both hands at the same time. He moves slowly but it is amazing what he can do!! Tabby hasn't heard back from the doctor about the blood tests from Friday. We hope to hear by possible Wednesday. Then we will probably be decreasing the Depakote and eliminating it finally!!! It will be so nice to finally get done with this med change!! Thanks for your continued prayer ... things are going well and we are so grateful.

Have a great day, Lynne & Carl

Paul's Update - 11/10/06

Dear Friends:

I'm sorry I haven't been keeping up ... many of our days are so busy and Carl and I don't always get time to talk about how the day has gone. Paul has been feeling pretty good and there are no obvious problems from the medicine change that we did last week. Tabby is feeling better but still fighting a cold. Paul is also coughing a bit so I expect he will be fighting a cold for the next few days. Paul has been "talking" more. He only says "ou" but when Dad asks do you need something he shakes his head no. Dad asked if he is just trying to talk and he nodded yes. He tries to vary his sounds but the only thing we can clearly understand "hi". Ozzy is having more difficulty with the training process the last couple of days. He has had lots of accidents in the house ... even after just going outside!! Paul has figured out that if Ozzy is in the bed and gets near him that he will lick his face. So Paul now holds Ozzy down and away from his face. He is gentle with him but doesn't want the puppy in his face!! Paul has watched several more movies over the last few days. Tabby had to move the older/smaller TV back down to the bedroom. It seems the problem with the Cable TV is not the cable at all ... it is the TV! Looks like time to invest in a new TV! Friday was blood testing day. This will be the test to determine if we can eliminate the rest of the Dilantin. It will only happen if the Trileptol level is high enough. We will probably hear something mid week next week. Dad had to be gone most of the afternoon to work on our kitchen. Tabby went out for a bit with Max to run errands while Dora stayed with Paul. We stopped by later in the evening after going out to dinner with Bill & Ronda to help Tabby get Paul ready for bed. Carl is making progress (along with help from BJ & Jimmy) to get the walls ready to put up our new cabinets. Thank goodness for long weekends!!

Have a great weekend! Lynne & Carl

Paul's Update - 11/07/06

Dear Friends:

Dad arrived early this morning with Tea from Starbucks. He got Paul up and gave him his tea. Dora was cleaning & dressing Paul when Dad left to go and vote with me. Tabby talked to the nursing agency and found out that we WILL have a nurse on this weekend. The told Tabby that she does NOT have a back problem ... unlike the others! Paul spent a lot of the day watching movies. Tabby called the dentist today. He should know something about getting him into Washington Hospital to get his teeth worked on soon. He has been consulting with someone there about Paul. Paul sat at the edge of the bed for a bit today. Dad has been trying to get Paul to stand up by himself but he keeps grabbing Dad's hand to pull himself up. He is strong enough but he doesn't have good balance. He needs more practice on this. Tabby is still feeling under the weather. She is fighting a cold. Wednesday Dad will be gone part of the day to be at home when the new kitchen cabinets arrive. Thursday we will have some folks come to help him get the walls prepared to hang them.

Have a great day! Lynne & Carl

Paul's Update - 11/06/06

Dear Friends:

Dad arrived this morning with Tea from Starbucks. This is to lower the fat intake for the day since Paul is still needing to lose some weight. When Dad went out this morning to a doctor appointment he came back with Passion Tea for him to drink with lunch. Paul walked in and out of the bathroom several times as usual and they watched movies again today since the cable is still not working. Tabby worked to get Paul to eat most of his lunch with his right hand. She had gotten some artichokes the other day so they sat together and ate them. If you've never eaten a fresh artichoke ... it is an experience! Tabby wasn't feeling well today ... she is coming down with a cold. Max wasn't feeling real good either and has done lots of throwing up. He usually only spits up a little but he does it almost every time he eats ... or within about an hour. Tabby was playing cards this morning and she got Paul to identify the cards by pointing to the ones she wanted him to pick out. He did OK ... some of them he missed ... like the 6 and the 9. Tonight Tabby was looking through the mail and she had gotten a Harriett Carter catalog. She gave it to Paul on his lap desk and he was able to browse through it. He was turning the pages ... ONE AT A TIME!! He was very careful when turning the pages and he was able to identify some of the products by pointing to them when Tabby asked him to. He sat up for almost 45 minutes at the side of the bed while he looked at this magazine. When it was time to go to bed he was able to get his shoes off by himself. It took a lot of encouraging to get him to do it but he finally did. When he was done he pulled himself away from Tabby and got himself back into the bed. It appears that Dad is going to have to steal some time away from Paul a couple of days this week. I have new kitchen cabinets arriving on Wednesday and he will have to prepare the current kitchen to be ready for the installation of the new cabinets. Tabby & Dora will be on the job!

Have a great day! Lynne & Carl

Paul's Update - 11/05/06

Dear Friends:

Sunday was a pretty quiet day. Paul & Tabby's cable is on the "fritz" and so it was a video day. He was not up a lot except to go to the bathroom. He seems to be a bit tired ... that could be the effect from the medicines! Dad was able to get Paul to stand up by only holding his hands this afternoon. Dad has to be right there to catch him since he doesn't have good balance. He has a habit of trying to stand before he is leaned over his legs far enough which causes him to end up falling backwards a bit ... Dad catches him to prevent him from actually falling. His legs are very strong and once he is in motion he can stand up very well. Ozzy (the puppy) is beginning to get quiet a personality. He is very playful and loves being up in the bed with Tabby & Paul. He crawls all over Paul and loves to get up in his face. We have to watch him because if he starts to annoy Paul he will grab him and push him away. If he grabs with his right hand there isn't much control there and he has a tendency to squeeze him too much. Max was not feeling very well today. He was throwing up quite a bit. He is a little fussy ... I hope it is just the teething! Everyone else is doing well. We do have good news in addition to Paul's progress ... we are going to have another grandchild!! Carolyn is about 8 weeks pregnant. I was not able to say anything until this week because Carolyn wanted to go to her first OB appointment before we made a general announcement. She will be due in June of 2007 ... actually she is due on Max's birthday!! Billy is convinced that it is a boy ... he has a 50/50 chance! Alysa (the big sister) is very excited to be having a new baby brother or sister! This week should be a quiet week for Paul. He will have blood drawn again on Thursday.

Have a great day! Lynne & Carl

Paul's Update - 11/04/06

Dear Friends:

Well ... we made it through the anniversary date. Paul's accident happened 11-4-05 ... which was on a Friday night. This made us think about the accident on both Friday and Saturday. It is amazing how many emotions are still so vivid from that time. When we think about the accident, the hospital, the doctors & tests, the friends that were there holding us and crying with us it feels like it was yesterday. But truthfully ... we can celebrate this day. Paul is a survivor ... he lives today ... and gets better each day! The night of Paul's accident I prayed for a miracle ... I begged God for a miracle. We got that miracle ... and many more. We've been surrounded by God's grace & love. His people have held us up. His blessings have been many more than we deserve. Paul had a good day. He complained of a headache part of the day but he was alert and strong. Tabby was able to get him to do the Vulcan hand sign with his right hand this evening ... he can do it with BOTH hands now!! Paul was able to come to the Ham & Oyster dinner at our church this evening. Our family was able to sit down together at church for a meal. Billy had to work but otherwise we were ALL there! What a blessing to be in God's house and celebrate on this day that marks the miracle God gave us! I know I've said it many times but I cannot thank you enough for being there when we need you & for praying each day.

Love & Hugs, Lynne & Carl

P.S. Here is the link to the pictures of the new puppy ... Ozzy!

Paul's Update - 11/03/06

Dear Friends:

Today was a pretty good day. Paul is doing well with the change in medicine and seems to be pretty alert. Tabby was able to get Paul to sit up and balance himself at the side of the bed. When he got tired he would lay back and then do a "sit-up" to get back into a sitting position. Tabby said he was doing this all by himself and did it so many times that she lost count. She told him if he got tired he could position himself in the bed and rest but he wouldn't do it. He sat at the edge of the bed for a couple of hours. Dad said that Paul used the electric razor this morning and shaved by himself. He moved it all around his face. Then when he was in the bathroom Dad put a towel on his lap and he proceeded to fold it. He took one corner and matched it up with the other corner and then straightened the towel until it was neatly folded in half. Dad had to go out for a bit today and Tabby was there with Dora. Max is doing real well. He finally has a tooth that we can see crowning through his gums. Ozzy (the new puppy) is going outside every couple of hours and is doing good. He likes his little crate and will go into it by himself. Tabby talked to the nursing agency today and it looks like we will not have a nurse again this weekend. They found a nurse but he lives in Herndon and feels that Manassas is too far for him to travel so we still have nobody! Tabby also found out today that Audrey (our first weekend nurse) is now pregnant and so she won't be able to come back. Saturday is the "one year" mark since Paul's accident. Although it is a sad day to remember we are grateful that we can "celebrate" his survival. So many things have happened in a year. Thank you for being part of our journey. The prayers of our friends & family have meant a lot to us. I would like to look at this day as Paul's "Life Day". This is something that I heard another survivor of a traumatic brain injury does each year on the anniversary of her injury. I think it is a great way to look at the blessing God gave us that day!

Have a great weekend! Lynne & Carl

Paul's Update - 11/02/06

Dear Friends:

The last two days have been adjustments to the change in medicines. So far Paul is adjusting well to the changes and we aren't seeing any adverse affects from it. He continues to try to use the right hand and his walking is about the same. Wednesday was a pretty quiet day. Although we added a new family member to the household. Tabby got a new puppy!! Someone was going by the house with a wagon full of puppies and she decided she wanted one. He is very cute ... he's a mix of Jack Russell Terrier & Pomeranian. At least he will be a small dog. She narrowed the name down to two names and Paul got to pick the name from a hat! The decision was "Ozzie". He has a little bed and a crate to sleep in at night. He is pretty quiet and sleeps a lot still. He has been going outside every two hours to do his business ... so far so good!! Paul likes the puppy. He holds it and pets it. He is actually very gentle with it but when the puppy went to grab the drawstring on his pants he gave Ozzie a mad look!! LOL I think the "dog therapy" will be good for Paul! Wednesday was a quiet day ... mostly watching movies. Dad & Tabby were not successful getting Paul to do much work today. They tried to get him to use the walker to stand up by the bed but he refused to do that. Tabby tried to get him to do some sit-ups ... she even leaned over him and said he could come up to kiss her ... but he wasn't interested in doing sit-ups for any reason!! Dad stayed at Paul's house for the last two nights but was able to come home tonight. Tabby made it an early night so Dad also had a chance to come home early.

Have a great day! TGIF Lynne & Carl

Paul's Update - 10/31/06

Dear Friends:

Each day seems to be much the same with more small improvements happening all the time. Paul does a little more with his right hand each day. Today he ate his snack with it. He wanted to use left hand but Tabby encouraged him to use right hand to each cheese crackers and he did well with it. Dad walks Paul to the bathroom several times each day and he still has to help quite a bit but Paul does real well with his steps. It is really his balance that is still a problem. Tonight Bobby had all the Halloween decorations ready to go for the Trick or Treaters. This is a special occasion that Paul & Bobby have always enjoyed together. Paul was able to go outside and enjoy the festivities. It was beautiful (about 60 degrees) and he was able to stay out until about 8:45pm. I think the boys had a good time. I a few pictures from last night. I hope you will be able to enjoy them! Dad took Paul into the house a couple of times to have bathroom breaks. During one of his trips to the bathroom Paul insisted on going into the kitchen area. He walked himself over to the kitchen by himself. Tabby got a new stove yesterday and he wanted to look at it. He wheeled himself over and took a good look at it. He can see the kitchen from his bed so he watched them install it ... and he wanted to inspect it!! It is funny when Tabby is in the kitchen you can see Paul leaning over in his bed to see into the kitchen so he can watch her! Much of the today was low key. When we do drug changes Dad & Tabby try to be careful not to overwork Paul. Dad is staying over tonight in case Paul has any ill affects from the deletion of the Dilantin this morning. Tomorrow morning is the time in which Paul's drugs from this morning will reach their "half life". That is when the drug is at it's lowest therapeutic level. Hopefully the other drugs are at a high enough level to combat any problems.


Have a great day! Lynne & Carl
