Larry's Update - 4/23/09

Some of you have been asking some general questions and I thought I'd address them here in case others have the same questions and to update you.

First of all, Larry is NOT back at work.
Larry is on a "Medical" Leave-of-Absence at 100% pay right now. The doctor will NOT discuss releasing him for another couple weeks after he's seen the vascular, neurology, medical & ophthalmology doctors once more. His doctor will NOT allow him to drive. He has NOT left the house since he left the hospital except to go to Easter Dinner and the doctor's office. His vision has NOT improved. His memory HAS improved immensely. He still struggles with words for certain things, but overall, he has improved greatly. You would probably not notice that he struggles. This is a blessing. Thank you, Lord.

He works constantly at taking in as much information as possible. Larry continues to work at studying his C++ book. For those of you who are not computer literate, C++ is a type of computer Language. This is what they are writing the new software in for Larry's work. Larry is a Software Engineer.

A friend from church gave us a wonderful book about the brain that Larry is absolutely devouring. Thanks, Cindy! He's trying to retrain his brain to see what it does not want to see. He feels very positive about this.

I am still working 4 days a week (M-Tu-Th-F), but try to leave early when Larry needs me home. I am the only driver in the household. (Nathan doesn't get his license back until possibly 5-20-09).
