FAQ: Some Details, or Lack Thereof

Here are a few details for all of the patient, faithful swampfans around the world. We would love to have better answers to many of these questions, but this really is all we know.


Q: Is Sheldon still the same boy we knew?

A: So far, we as a family can't pick out any differences in Sheldon's behaviour, except that he may be a little calmer, for lack of better description. This is truly good news, and so far a great relief. He still loves video games, his family (especially his baby niece), and candy.

Q: What about his memory? short/long term?

A: Short term seems fine, long term seems fine. Really, it remains to be seen.

Q: What about other organs? How are his heart, lungs functioning and at what capacity?

A: This remains to be seen, but they're all working on their own.

Q: Will he require physical therapy for his limbs? How are they working out for Sheldon?

A: Sheldon has taken a few steps at a time, but is very, very weak. We don't know yet about Physio.

Q: Does he require any meds?

A: He's not currently on any medication except his usual asthma stuff. (I think)

Q: How is his breathing?

A: His throat is sore, and his voice is a whisper, but less swollen. He has a bit of a raspy cough.

Q: Can he return to a regular diet?

A: He's been eating ordinary food, but his stomach is a little testy.

Q: What is his long/short term prognosis?

A: We have no idea, since we haven't got a diagnosis. This is in God's hands.

Q: When will he be able to return to a normal lifestyle? When can he return to school?

A: We don't know when he'll get back to school or a normal lifestyle, but my suspicion is that patience will be in order for him and his family.
