I went back to see Woodle this morning. He was awake but I am not sure if he knew who I was. He didn't really want to talk. I had some pics from camp taken in 1995 and 1996. I posted them on a poster board. His Mom, Margaret was thrilled as the staff at Heartland Health had not know Woodle as we did. She was showing everyone. Woodle has a new room and it is GREAT-his AC works for one, he is alone for now and the window is bright and sunny. When I left around 2pm, several friends were with him. While he didn't add much in to the conversation, he didn't want us to be quiet, so there was lots of talking going on.
David Mitch Vincent is in Houston now. He works in a facility much like the one Woodle is in. Woodle's Mom signed for Mitch to have permission to see his chart and know what was going on. I think this will help since Mitch knows what he is looking at and it is not just medical mumbo jumbo.
I would urge all who want to see Woodle to travel to Houston soon, but know he may not recognize you nor talk with you. And, if he does talk, it may not make sense, or it may make complete sense in his philosophical abstract way.
For now, the plan is for me to call into Mitch or Margaret every day or so to get an update, then I will post it on this blog. This way, everyone does not have to call all the time. While I was there, Margaret's phone rang non stop which is wonderful but exhuasting for her.
If nothing else, send your love. He is now in room 2204.
