Quick Update

Just a quick update. He has been good and bad since coming home. He has fallen a couple of times. Yesterday, he was cold in the apartment so he went out on their covered deck to get warm. Portland has been having record breaking heat like 105 degrees. Dad fell asleep out on the deck for 3 hours and so we think he may have gotten a touch of heat stroke. His speech was very slurred again and he had no energy again. He wasn't hungry but mom made him drink. They called me this morning and he was sounding much better. I made him promise to stay in the house and if he got cold to put on a sweatshirt.

That's the latest.

Once again, Melody, thanks for making the time to give us these updates. Can't really blame Larry for wanting to be out on the deck to keep warm if he felt shivery - but 105F is not kind to one's skin or body :o !! and was he on oxygen out there? Remind him of my threat to confiscate his camera if he doesn't behave lol! Prayers, positive vibes and hugs coming his way, and some for Sherry and the rest of the family too.

Well I wish I would stayed home after chrch yesterday. We decided to go picture taking. First picture I fell and either cracked or broke a rib. But we decided to go on because it really didn't hurt that bad. Well I fell again taking a picture. That did it we went home. Of coarse unloading Sherry's scooter I fell again. That did I have been seen in the house since.

God bless and take care, Larry
