Hi All,
Lindsay just called with the good news that Walt is on his way to St Mary's as I am typing. We don't know what room or anything yet.
Apparently when he heard that he was going Walt put on one of his shoes so we can assume from that that he is ready and rearing to go.
He is so much stonger and healthier than last time and more than ready for the challenge.
Stay tuned for next instalements.
Cheers
Corinne

Patty says: What a happy day!! I have been waiting for this day for months!!! The social worker came into the room at 11:00 today and told me they had accepted Walter at St. Mary's. I said wahoo (like Walter's Homer Simpson) and he immediately looked for his sneakers and put them on. I have told him every day that this is the way to home. He will have to work very hard and he still likes to sleep alot. He has made great strides every day for the past three weeks and I am so proud of him!! Our friend Leslie who works for his brain surgeon by coincidence, came in and reminded me that it was touch and go for a while. I will never forget those horrible and fearful moments that he almost left us. We are so lucky to have him with us. He is still having trouble with short and long term memory and I know this could take years to come back. I showed him some pictures today and he did not recognize himself or his loving kitties. Yes, it is sad and depressing but he is still with us. When I left him tonight, he said "I do not know if I will ever get better:. And I said "Of course you will". When you guys visit, let him know how far he has come and how well he is doing. I am convinced that St. Mary's will help him come back to us and will help him walk again. He is very anxious to start therapy!!! I will look forward to helping with his therapy and seeing more and more progress!! He can have visitors but he might be beat after all that work during the day. He will be doing 3 hours of therapy at intermitent times of the day. But he will be done at 3:00 for the day. I will keep you posted with his progress. Keep praying for his continued success with his recovery. I am hoping to have him home for the 4th of July (one of his favorite holidays)!! We just might have to have some fireworks to welcome him home!! See you at St. Mary's!! Luv ya-Patty
