I spoke to Lorie yesterday and Tim is out of the hospital at Infirmary West Rehab. It is a place where he can be cared for and she can know he is being taken care of.
She is running ragged trying to take care of all the loose ends with this move. She said when she gets caught up she will update everybody.
I thought you might like a picture of Tim so you would see who you have been praying for all this time.

The last time I spoke with Lorie Tim was adapting fine to his new surroundings. If I hear anything new, I will let you know. Here is a picture of Lorie for those who have not met her yet.

thankyou for showing the picture,you make a lovely couple and i love freddies smile.
i don't think the texas alsa are very good,they take forever to get anything done.
they have done little for my friend del,he has just got his chair this week after waiting months. i am very disapointed in them.
i hope freddie is feeling a bit better now he is home and you are coping ok.
i will keep you both in my thoughts and prayers.
godbless.

Just got this from Lorie:
Tim is not doing so well, he is having a lot of anxiety with his secretions
and the Trach. I am not sure at this time when or if he will get to come home.
I will say that after watching him suffer with this. I will never get the
Trach. I will go naturally.
I hate this disease, my passion to do something about it just rises higher. I want to do more. My time is just limited right now and I don't feel too well myself. I have missed my last two Neuro. appts.
I do not look forward to the near future. Please keep Tim and our family in your Prayers.

Lorie

Please remember her in your prayers as she and Tim face this challenge.

Mt. thanks a bunch for the update on Tim and Lorie. I am so sorry to hear that Tim is having issues with his trach. We'll just have to pray for Tim so that he'll be able to adjust.

Mt. I am keeping you in my prayers. Sorry to hear you don't feel too well yourself. Oh, another thing..........am pleased to hear you guys made it okay through Gustav. I viewed a bunch of photos, your part of the country took a beating. It was kinda calm here in Houston. Very little winds, and a shower here and there. Thank God it's gone, but it's not over yet.

God bless you folks. Hang in there Al, the Almighty will take care of us!
