Hi all- an encouraging update on Monday from Bob's daughter Sarah... Update on my dad (Bob Green): He has been making small steps of improvement each day. He was awake and alert most of the day today. He knows where he is at although he did communicate to the OT today that he wishes he was at the grocery store. What can I say, he loves Trader Joe's. His lungs continue to need a lot of support and his muscles are very weak. Now that he is awake and alert, he is trying to communicate more. I can usually guess what he is trying to mouth but it can be frustrating when I can't figure it out. Our project this week will be to build a better communication system for him. -For the latecomers, Bob is a St. Louis caller, and writer of contra and English dances, who had a bad auto accident a month ago.
