Hi everyone,

Wanted to let you know that Paul is still hanging in there. Kathy left July 3rd after a good visit with Paul.

Right now he has good days and bad days. We never know how each day will go, which is why I have written so seldom. Just when we think there is a pattern we can rely on, something changes...and so it goes.

Warmly,
Steph and Pam

Hey there everyone,

Just wanted to let you all know Paul is basically unchanged from a couple of weeks ago. When he is awake he has been watching Wimbledon tennis with Kathy and listening to the nurses that care for him discuss the World Cup teams, otherwise CNN still fills the remainder of the day. We are usually able to get him out of bed once a week for a short time, but it wears him out. Paul's spirit is still good and he is peaceful. All the best to you,

Warmly,
Steph, Kathy and Pam

Hello all,

It has been quite awhile since I have written because Paul remains basically unchanged. He is still sleeping a lot (around 22 hours a day) because his heart is weak, but is awake for around a 1/2 hour several times a day. When he is awake he conversant, coherent and still has a sense of humor from time to time. His diet has expanded to include chocolate or fresh strawberry milkshakes. The best news is that Kathy Koop is here for several weeks. Paul is definitely being well cared for!

Love, Steph, Pam and Kathy
