Daffy
I believe the OT will be like 1/2 hour a day, 5 days a week, but I'm
guestimating. It might be 3 days a week. We have to make the money
stretch. Hate to get him on a roll and then the funds run out.....

Sorry guys -n- wenches...
mikey's been bustin'ass working away...(not that I'm complainin', after 14
months out of work!)
So...here's the scoop from Sunshine...
ANY amount is welcome even $5! If 1,000 people do $5 a month, Eddie's got
$5,000 worth of therapy that month! Think! If it were you, would $5
matter?
Go fer it!
And, while supplies last, for those who commit to a monthly contribution,
I'll throw in a chrome billet disk lock! Seriously...
I've got about 25 of 'em or so...but they are going fast!
I'll be in touch with Sunshine to get the names...
----------------------------------------------------
Ok, here's the info for making monthly contributions:
The bank's name is:
Ohio Savings Bank
Farnsleigh Road Office
Shaker Heights, OH 44122
Their routing number is: 241 070 433
The account number is: 00350122305
Please let me know when you have it set up. I'll send Ann the info.
Please include the amount, date transaction will occur, and the name
of the bank you're using.
Thanks!!!!!

If you want to make monthly contributions from your bank account,
contact me and I'll send you the info. Ya know, even $10 a month would
add up, and will bring good feelings and good karma.... 8-)

Currently Ann is setting up Occupational Therapy (OT). I suggested this
because O.Therapists are really great at doing a little of everything
and making recommendations. He just got pegs on his hand wheel, so she
wants them to work with him to get him more mobile, and then start with
speech to determine what's the best route to get him more
communicative. He's really getting that pointing thing down.
A quick update from the past weekend - he ate his first food.
Everything in the past has been repulsive to him - Ann was concerned
that his taste buds weren't working. After he got some garlic mashed
potatoes, it appears that it might be a consistency thing, or that he
doesn't like bland things. He wouldn't open his mouth voluntarily (we
made him laugh to get his mouth open), but once he got the food, he
consistently ate it and never even once spit it out or forced it out. I
was pretty excited about that.
I *love* the picture of him and me. It's on my computer as the
background. The sutre thing is that he is pissed in the picture, and
you can't tell. He was mad at us for bringing the media. He didn't
like it. He wouldn't smile, wouldn't laugh, even at my best
wisecracks. At least he stared at me without looking away. I told him
he didn't have to like that part but he'd better like the van or I'd
take it back. As soon as we started out of his room, he perked up and
became himself again.Read the rest of this message... (33 more lines)

Back in January when I volunteered to host the EK web auction, I had no
idea what would become of it. At some point I realized it was going to
require a long-term commitment, and after some consideration, decided I
was in it for the long haul. Every update I make to the page gives me
great pleasure, knowing I'm a part of this group and this effort.
Anyway, I'd like to go on record by stating the following:
As long as you all continue to contribute, bid, and purchase items for
the EKIII Auction, I'll continue to maintain the site. So there.
