Patty says: Walter is doing great!! He is saying more words every day and is getting more alert!! The aids are wonderful too! We are in the process of getting therapy going but when visitors come I put them to work with therapy, stretching, item identifying, writing on an etch a sketch, looking at books and putting shapes in a box (which he has mastered by the way). When you come over for a visit, bring some ideas for therapy with you-more ideas wanted!!
Thanks to all that have brought a dish-it really helps me to have more time with Walter. Thanks to Marsha and Lori for running errands for me!! Thanks to Alyce and Joanne for the offer of Turkey dinner for Thanksgiving. Thanks to all that have sent Walter cards. He loves to open them and read them. He is truly my hero and a real survivor. I am sure that is because of the friends who have supported him and the love that they have shown him. That is really the most important thing in the world-family and friends. We have the best family you could ever ask for and we love you all - I just wish you were all in town so we could see you and hug you every day. I always knew you were so special-since I met you when I was just 15 years old. Aunt Anna-you are so special-You are my 2nd mother. You are Lucy Rabitz the 2nd. My special, special mother-in-law who is now-in spirit helping me take care of her baby-and I am so so glad to do it. I love you Walter!!!
That is all for now. Dinner is calling. I will soon have some visiting times for Walter. Will keep you posted.
Please continue to send Walter wishes via computer too!! We will be reading these to him.

Hey There Walt,
It was so good to see you again last Thursday, at home. There's nothing like home with your loving family. Patty, you are doing a commendable job and you are certainly dedicated to Walt in getting him better (you will definitely succeed)! Dick and I were so encouraged again and happy to see some improvement in Walt's alertness, and those little smiles he gave us here and there were terrific. Keep fighting, Walt. We'll be over again to see you real soon. Our love always. Bernie and Dick
I am thrilled to hear that Walter is making such great progress!!! There's no place like home!
Patty, let me know if it would be good to come over this weekend. I'd love to visit with both of you and bring a dish.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO THE ENTIRE RABITZ FAMILY! GOD BLESS YOU ALL!

Hi Walter:
It was so great to see you last week and to see the progress you have made from the last time Joe and I stopped by at Park Ridge. I say, no more hospitals for you - get better at home, around the family and people who love you and are praying for your quick recovery.
We wish the whole Rabitz clan a wonderful Thanksgiving. May God watch over you, help you to improve each and every day and to bless you all.
We will all and stop by to visit with you again soon.
Love, Norma and Joe

Hi Patty, Walt, Lindsay and Brian,

Welcome home Walt! :-)

Patty says: We had a great Thanksgiving with Walter being home. We have lots to be thankful for!!! Thanks to all that visited Walter. He really needs this stimulation to get better. Thanks to all for your dishes. This gives me more time to take care of Walter.
For those that want to visit, just call first. You may visit any time. If it is not a good time I will let you know.
Thanks to Dick for helping Brian with his shelf. It looks great and now it will not fall.
Please continue to pray for his continuing recovery. He still needs to walk and talk. We are having some breakthroughs with words. I sneezed and he said "Bless You". He was pretty aware and awake for the holiday and really seemed to enjoy it.
He will be going out Friday for his lst Dr's appt. He will surely be tired after his appt. He is having therapy and basically they are starting from scratch. We need lots of prayers and thoughts to get him through this. I truely believe that he will recover. It will just take a long, long time. Thanks to St. Jude for favors received! Please continue to help us through this difficult time.
