Patty says: This week has been about the same for Walter. He is trying to get rid of the CDif infection and the UTI. Therapy is still not going that well. He is still struggling to walk and to get his words out in English.
My plea is to those people reading the blog to visit Walter. He needs brain stimulation!! Thanks to his dedicated friends for their lunchtime visits during the week. We still could use some guys to come for lunch!!! It is so very important for his well being that he has visitors. He loves to visit with his buddies. I know some of you guys are uncomfortable about visiting but we all are uncomfortable. Like I said before, life is not just fun and games. Someday we might need visitors to visit us. I could use some visits from his friends on weekends for lunch. I try to be there for dinner. I hate to think of him eating alone up there. Can anyone volunteer? You do not have to let me know. Just go up around 12:00. Just keep him company. People are always asking me "What can I do" There is only one thing. PLEASE VISIT! It DOES NOT have to be for hours. Just to keep him company.
Thank you again to Tim for your visits and support. Walter is lucky to have such a great and dedicated friend. Thanks to Tom and Ron for their dedication to Walter. Keep playing ball with Walter!! I have started reading to Walter to to stimulate his brain. There are many books in his room. Please read to him and show him the pictures in the book. He really enjoys that!!
Keep praying for my Walter!! I need him to come back home to us!! YOUR VISITS CAN HELP!!!

I stopped by to see walt today and visit with him during lunch and his excersize session. His fiend Tim was there and we had a good conversation during lunch, although Walt didn't say much. Then we went to the therapy room and helped walt with his excersizes. Walt did pretty good but I was a little disappointed that Walter didn't try a little harder, and I told him so. I think Walt got a little upset with me because I demanded he do a better job lowering his right arm. I know when Walter is in a mood, and I insisted he do better. He didn't like it but he did lower his arm and stood up strait.
Walter is my friend, and I can't stand by and watch him give up. Walt may have issues that will be with him for some time to come, but one of them should not be giving up.
When anyone stops by to visit Walter, please ask walt show you something physical he can do, or did in therapy recently. He needs to know everybody is watching and cares about his recovery. Don't take no for an answer. Insist on seeing or hearing something.
