Good morning to everyone. It's Saturday morning now. Ricky and I will be going to the hospital shortly, then driving down to Dad's house in Fullerton to take care of some more business.
It's been great to hear from people in the blog comments. Cousin Carole, who is a nurse, has some great advice for how to talk to Dad -- very welcome advice, since this is such a strange and new environment. And it's great to hear from Velma! And hearing from Dad's friend and neighbors reminds me of what an incredible character he is. Please keep the comments coming -- Ricky and I both enjoy them immensely, and eventually Dad will be able to read them as well.

If he cannot speak, tell him to look up for 'yes' and down for 'no' with his eyes and you can ask all yes and no questions. This way, he won't be frustrated by not being able to communicate. We wish him well!
Glad to hear Dick is making progress. I know he is very proud of his Sonex and getting back into flying. Besides Flabob he comes to Corona to share his love of flying with our EAA Chapter there. I will pass the info on to the guys at Corona. In the meantime Dick, do what you're told and get healed.
Deborah, if there is anything we might be able to help you with feel free to contact me.
Mark Beattie, President EAA Ch494.
I've sent you a separate email with contact info.
Sometimes people can communicate with the squeeze of their hand. One squeeze for "yes", two squeezes for "no". As anonymous above mentioned, you will have to work with yes and no questions, but at least you can set up some sort of communication system. He will feel better knowing that someone can understand him, as will you and Ricky. Hopefully, he'll be able to use pen and paper before long.
Many Thanks for the frequent updates. I know it must be hard trying to keep everyone up to date, but it is SO appreciated.
My best to you and Ricky, and tell your Dad I said QUACK.
Cousin Carole
