LISA TODAY: LISA TODAY – 05 AUGUST 2006

Two Happy Guys

It was a happy reunion for his Uncle David, shown here with his nephew Michael as they recently got together for a brief family gathering in Oklahoma City. Auntie Suzanne, and his Cousins, Colin and Riley were there too to get in on the fun. It was more than nice as Godparents Jack and Napua Davis made the arragements and provided sumptious refreshments for us all.

What is more fun that a pile of kids jumbled up on a bed?(L to R) Riley, Colin and Michael would say: "NOTHING!"

What's New...
Lisa finally has reached the 1,000 Microgram dose of Baclofen which is ever-so-slowly and carefully being administered. The dose is now at the level Dr. Kwasnica expects Lisa's Spasticity will loosen its grip on Lisa. She recently has become noticeably more alert and regained her ability to respond with "good eye blinks." noticeably
Richard has become a studious hospital fashion buyer. Talking with hospital staff and others, he has learned that, for patient Lisa, a sports bra and stretchy bike pants are most comfortable. This rules out "shorts" as this type of garment tends to creep, and you know we all hate that, do we not?
Speaking of cloths, it may have occurred to you that someone must launder her personal clothing, you may even have wondered, who or how does it get done? Suzanne Cohen, who ranges Lisa on Wednesdays has also stepped up and taken on this additional task. Now I don't want to shock you, so step back-get a drink and, well listen to this: Richard does Lisa's laundry on weekends. In fact, he has become a "Tide" maven--even separates the colored items from the whites--folds them right out of the dryer, and even... talks the talk with others about laundry stuff. What's next for the wonder boy? Ironing? Yeah, as if!
