Alan’s Army

Unfortunately Alan gagged on some pills this morning and then threw up.  But he since seems OK.

He has had a rash on his torso since Philly and they decided today that it is from the Dilantin (anti-seizure drug.) They are trying Benadryl cream to make it better. Thankfully the rash doesn’t itch.  They also decided today that they will keep Alan at JFK for another week.

Some more staples were removed today and Alan also had a shower during occupational therapy.

Tonight, two separate opthamology folks did a bunch of a tests on Alan.  We have not heard any specific results or therapy plans yet but it was very obvious during the tests that Alan’s left eye is extremely limited seeing only something less than a foot away and directly in front.

Erick Simonds, BOB Graham, and Stephen Caffery visited Alan today.  Talk about Alan throwing up breakfast prompted BOB to ask “Well, did you order the bulemic special?”  Alan said, “You know, I AM bulemic, I just forget to throw up.”

Thanks all and God Bless,

Andrew
