Lif's Progress-03

Hi Everyone

Thanks for checking in & leaving posts/comments.

We (Beth & I) took Ruth in on Saturday after work & hung-out with Lif for awhile.

His progress is really remarkable--considering what he endured three (3) weeks ago when all of this happened.

Lif's brother Kurt from Colorado has landed in Boston & will be visiting for most of this week. His presence will certainly be a pick-me-up for younger brother! :)

Brett did a great job puttin a poster/collage together for his Dad with all sorts of family pictures & memorable moments. (Personally, I'm salivating at the thought of seeing his pic in the tux he wore to his prom: brown with a yellow chiffon shirt!)

As an added emphasis, Brett even added an "Only in Maynard" bumper sticker!

I heard that a bunch of the BU trades-guys went in to visit him today. Thanks guys!

A big (& belated) thank you should also go out to Lif's ecumenical peers at BU, including Sister Olga & the staff of the Hillel House with the Rabbi & Lif's favorite Susan Sloan.

Well, more info as it develops. Take care,

MVK

Visited Lif after work yesterday.

He was sitting upright in bed & was able to speak clearly & coherently--pretty much 'normal' !! :)

His mood & demeanor was very positive. The (puréed) dinner he had just completed was the first 'solid' food he has consumed since this happened.

He was able to move both of his arms (left better than right).

Last night was the first time he wanted the TV on & asked to find the clicker

As previously noted he's been doing physical therapy.....I was pleased to see his sneakers in the corner of the room!

All-in-all he's definitely on the mend. Thank you for your continued well-wishes.

MVK :)
