Hello everybody, It's George, just giving an update for today. Dad came up this morning for some additional training with Sam's PT and OT therapists. I was able to get away from work and participate in Sam's OT session with Dad. We worked on arm stretches. Sam also got a little shave. His wheelchair controls have been moved to his right side to strengthen his right hand. He's still eating and drinking great on his own. The trac came out yesterday and has been replaced with a button which is a step towards the right direction. His voice already sounds a lot better. I took tomorrow off, so I'll have a chance to work with his therapists all day tomorrow. I wanted to mention that this Saturday will be Phase I of converting our workshop into Sam's music room (he refers to it as his "Man Room"). We will have ribs, burgers and lots of beverages for everyone and will also have all the football games on, so please come on out and help pitch in. We'll get started pretty early Saturday but whenever you guys can show all help will be greatly appreciated. Visitors today included: Dad, Mom, Aunt Sue, our cousin Reg. I'll talk to you guys soon. Take care. Love, George
