Allan has had a really busy morning. He had speech therapy just before lunch. He did well, and will definitely continue with rather intensive speech work. The description he gave of a photo that the ST showed him was hilarious. It was a photo of a woman who was washing dishes and staring off into space. The water was flowing out of the sink and onto the floor. The 2 kids, who he named Pearl and Boy, were in the background of the photo. One kid was up on a stool reaching for a box of cookies and the other kid was watching him. Allan stated," that mom is terrible. She's probably taking those little blue pills that make her feel good, and those kids are going to get hurt". The therapist turned to look at me, and we both started laughing.
More evidence that Allan is back: his buddy Kenneth (KOL) and his wife (QOL) came by after ST. If you've ever been around these two clowns, then you would know that they act like 12 year old boys when they get together. It was a great visit, and just what Allan needed. Again, we have such a great group of friends.
Allan had his leg Doppler today; waiting on the results. He saw the hematologist; no problems noted with his blood. The cardiologist also came by and said he could fix allan's heart in 6 weeks. It will be an outpatient procedure. Now we wait to see when we can go home, or if we need to go to inpatient rehab. His wonderful interventional radiology team came by again today to visit with Allan. What a great group of people.
Will update more this evening. Thanks for your continued prayers and support.
Keep the updates coming and send our love.
ReplyDeleteWe made it back to Shreveport. I told Hank and Maggie that Uncle Allan said he loved them. Hank said, "I love you too, Uncle Allan!" Maggie said "Unka Ayen!" Not 30 seconds ago Hank just asked if Uncle Allan is feeling better.
Laughing at blue pill mom!
Love,
James
