I try to print an update twice a week to keep everyone informed, though the news this week hasn't changed. Phil continues to do well. Though he's still in a wheelchair, he spends more time in his recliner, and is very content. He is thinking more, looking ahead to tomorrow and what the plans are for the day. We get out and go somewhere every day, today it was lunch out and a trip to K-Mart, then to Goshen church for supper. His speech continues to improve, though it still takes a litle imagination at times to get to his meaning. For the first time tonight he showed some frustration at not being able to get out of bed himself in the mornings. That's the first frustration he's shown over any of the changes in his life. And in a few days, we may find a solution to that little problem as he can mostly dress himself and he's transferring to the wheelchair without help (when I'm not looking). When he gets just a little stronger, he will be able to get himself out of bed without my assistance. All is going well and we're thankful!
