[MR] Gene's update 5-1-07...

[elspeth]

Yesterday Gene went to Occupational, Physical and Speech Therapy.  They started to get him to walk with the walker and he got very dizzy.  They took his BP and it was 80/50 so they sat him down to see if his BP would go up and it was taking a while.  So they let him do some arm exercise. Then they layed him down on the mat and did leg exercises.  He did them really well.  His BP when up.  After that he went to Speech and his memory is doing great.  Sometimes he has a hard time coming up with the exact word that something is call, but I have that problem sometimes as well.

The most exciting thing that happened today was I gave Gene a hair cut in his room.  I made a big mess all over the floor but he really looks a lot better and feels better, too.  

Thanks for caring,
Beth
