Saturday evening Cousin Rick brought Walt a gift from a recent visit to China. It is a keep sake engraved with chinese characters for, "The Great Wall" with additional characters for "ter". Thus, "The Great Wall-ter". Given his deadpan expression, Walt either thought it was a bad pun or he didn't get it.
We had a nice evening of conversation and a movie--this time we watched, "Barry Lyndon", a movie that Walt and I saw about 30 years ago. He was bored with it at first but later got into it when the killing began. We had to stop about half way through because the staff booted me out to give him a shower. Before I left one of the staff told me that she was the first person to meet him when he came to St. Mary's a couple of weeks ago. She remarked at his great progress since that day.
In the photo shown here you can see a "Bart Simpson" doll peaking out behind Walt--it's a gift from Lindsey. He also has a talking rabbit doll, a gift from Patty that says, "I love you" then makes a demented rabbit chuckle when he squeezes it. When he showed this to me the other day he said Patty was out of control. I laughed and said that I agreed.

Patty says: Sorry I missed another movie night-just my luck-Ryan O'Neill was one of my first loves (besides The Great Wall) Geno-Thanks for the movie memories for Walter-I am sure he appreciates all of your great ideas. When will we see "Young Frankenstein". Or the famous "Blazing Saddles". All of those nights at the hospital for months and months and I miss all of the fun. Oh well there is always my couch to rest the old knee. I hope all of you Dad's have a great day tomorrow (do not come to St. Mary's.) That is an order. Lindsay and Brian have big plans for their Dad tomorrow. They are having hots and hamburgers for the Dads at the hospital.
. Thanks again to all for your visits and prayers. We must pray that Walter regains his walking and that his eyes improve. Hopefully in time, the brain will resolve the eye issues. He is working very hard in therapy and they are pleased with his progress. Thanks again to Geno and Coco for their dedication to Walter!! Luv ya-Patty
hi Walt,Corrine,Rick and Mom!
I am so happy that Walt is making progress; go Walt, go!
Cousin Debby
Patty,
I've been waiting until you are recovered from your knee surgery to show some of the movie classics that you mentioned. Once you are up and running we'll do it.
Let me say again that your belief in Walt has been a thing of beauty.
Lindsay and Brian--ask your dad to take some pictures at your father's day event.
G
Great work.
