Health Update and Some Pictures

The above slideshow consists of some pictures taken at the Nickelback concert that John attended with Sabrina and some other friends and family members. Everyone had a good time. The other pictures are from a party at Steph and John’s house with Kip and Shannon, who have become good friends. The party was in “the loft” and it was tricky getting John and Kip up there, but was worth it. You can see the pictures bigger and in greater detail by clicking here.

As for John’s health, here’s an update from Stephanie:

“At his last appointment his breathing was down to 47%. The doctor put in orders for him to go on bi-pap during the night and occasionally during the day. He also wants John to start using the feeding tube because he feels that John is using too much time and energy to eat meals. A nurse will be coming out to show us how to use the feeding tube (again). He also visited the Courage Center and they have ordered him a computer that will talk for him. If the ALS loan pool has the forehead dot attachments, he will use the computer with the dot. If not, he will use a mouse for now. The nurses at Courage Center are hoping that John will be able to get eye gaze in the future for using the computer.”

As always, John continues to enjoy life and has a supreme sense of humor.
