TGIF

The last posting was Wednesday, and it's not that we haven't spent every moment since then thinking about ya, Larry but as things go.... Getting out of ICU has it's down side..... Now it's very hard for us to call and get information The number one problem is HIPPA, a federal patient protection law that carries very fines if violated... At Noran Neurological Clinic, I have to deal with it everyday so I understand from a medical point of view... From the family's point of view it stinks... big time..... So we are trying to get information about Surgery and when and what the next steps are and that kind of stuff in the meantime know that cards and well wishes are coming in from all over the place, not just Harwich, not just Cape Cod but across the country!!! This web site is visited many, many times throughout the day. Anyone can leave comments, if they wish or e-mail Pamela or myself and ask for it to be posted.... anyone that has a photo they would like to have shown let me know I will tack it right up !!! I found a great one I am going to post today or this weekend..... all this goes to show that Family, Friends, friends of family members, and even strangers can make a difference in one person's life and While Larry continues to get stronger and stronger and closer to Harwich, All we have to do is keep up the support..... Thanks so very much, our family is overwhelmed, We have always know the speciality in Larry but it sure is awesome to know that so many others also know. Hugs from Windy and Crisp Minnesota!!!

We Saw Larry today

Hey Everyone
We saw Larry today. We opened cards with him. We had so many that we took some home. I am going to make a poster of cards that we will take up on saturday to hold the cards that wouldn't fit on his bulletin board. The fire dept sent him a "fire dept patch" and we placed it up his bulletin board so he can see it right in front of him.
There was no talk of surgery today but hopefully we will be talking with some drs about that tomorrow.
Larry is quite doped up obviously and tires very easily. He fell asleep quite a few times while we there. But when he is awake he is aware and even smiled a couple of times for us.
Please address cards to William "Larry" Chandler.
They can be sent to

Thanks again for all the thoughts and prayers.
Love Pamela

Monday Monday

Hey Everyone
You won't believe this but I got to talk with Larry last evening on the
telephone. I called the nurses station to get an update and the girl said " you
wanna speak to him?" I said "Are you kidding? Absolutely!!!
It was hard to understand a lot of what he said, he has an oxygen mask I
guess, but he understood everything I was saying. I told him Tom would probably
be in to see him soon and that he responded to that with a couple of sentences
that I could not understand but he will be happy to see him, I got that!! I
asked him if he knew if he was going to have surgery today and he said he didn't
know. I told him not to worry about anything except getting better and that
Mom and I would see him in a day or 2. I can't believe I talked with him. We
are getting there!!!
Mom called this morning and didn't get too much info, some days are like
that, but it didn't look like surgery today. Hopefully more info on that later on
today.
For now, keep the prayers coming.
Love Pamela

Leaving ICU

Well.... Everyone's prayers are working because today's update will be the last one from the ICU!!!! Larry will be moving to another floor which means he is one floor closer to rehab and returning to the Cape!!.... We will know later to what floor and room so everyone can start sending cards.... still will have very limited visitors but cards and well wishes are welcomed.... surgery may be planned to tuesday so more on that later also....
thanks again for all the thoughts and prayers..... Robin and Pamela
