Many of Bob's friends have expressed that they wanted to help by donating to a fund that will help with Bob's medical expenses. I have set up a Bob Pirie Fund at Umpqua Bank here in Roseburg. If you are interested in making a contribution, you can mail a check to:
Umpqua Bank
Bob Pirie Fund

Thank you in advance for your support and contribution.
Thinking back, I would not have been able to stay sane through this whole ordeal without your love, prayers, and emotional support. I have over two-hundred and fifty emails to share with Bob when he's able to read on the computer. Many of those emails are emails that have conversations that went back and forth between the sender and me.
Cognitive Therapy: Today's lesson was rapid recall. I asked T to list four items that would belong in a category that I called out. He was required to list the items quickly. I didn't give him too much time to think. I gave him about two seconds to think. If he took longer that 2-3 seconds before listing, I would say, "Too slow. We'll do that one tomorrow." Or, I would help him brainstorm. A few examples were, parts of the body, parts of a car, things in an ocean, fruits, and many many more (a half hour worth).
How'd Bob do? He did really well. Some categories were harder than others. I didn't see a pattern.
GREAT NEWS! I forgot to mention yesterday, the doctor I spoke to said that the chances of Bob having another brain aneurysm goes back to slightly above the average person (providing the brain CTI's detected everything during his brain surgery).
A PRAYER FOR TODAY
"Father in heaven, today I declare my thanks to You for all You have done in my life. Help me see Your hand of blessing as I continually acknowledge and praise Your name. Fill me with Your peace and joy as I keep You first place in all that I do. In Jesus' Name. Amen"
