Paul went back to the Alfred Hospital today to have his left arm cast removed and a CT scan done. My parents had a meeting with the Neurosurgeon who explained the CT scan results which revealed that Paul still has air in the front part of his brain.
My Mom has told me Paul has been very pleasant lately, sleeping well at night, and eating a bit better. My Dad brings him watermelon every morning and he loves it! Today he asked my Dad about how various sports teams were doing. He also talked to Ryan on the phone for a few minutes and that went very well.
On Friday, Paul went for another CTscan and to an Ear, Nose and Throat specialist to determine how this air leak can be fixed. They are hoping to be able to do a procedure through his nose to fill this in. He will not be able to fly home until this is fixed.
My folks are very appreciative of all of the positive thoughts and email they have recieved. Keep it coming!

Paul,
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts prayers are never far from you and your family. When Anna told me about your accident I was deeply saddened. I remember the first time I met you in Ashford and how generous you were taking time to talk to a friend's mom. Meeting Bear was a treat too. The support you are receiving from your family and friends is amazing. Another tribute to the wonderful person you are. The challenges ahead are great but with your tenacity and God's gentle hand to guide you I know your recovery will be steady. Know that you will continue to be in my prayers and hopefully when Anna gets home from Morocco I will have the opportunity to see you again and we all can sit and have a cup of tea. God bless you Paul. Susan (mom of Anna James)
Merry Christmas Paul and family! Hang in there Pauly, you will be home soon and everything will begin to get back to normal. Hope to see you soon. E-A-G-L-E-S Eagles!
