It’s one of those days where I have so much information to share. I found it is best to put this in list-form. Really, that’s more for me than you so I don’t forget anything or go on rambling about a boring topic. You all know how I can be…
On top of this, Sue left on business for today and tomorrow and Kari (my daughter) is having a great time at Rehobeth Beach, DE. I’m flying solo for a while. The real bummer is that I see no way to fit in the porn and cigars with such a tight schedule. Looks like it will be a boxer day only!
Here’s my list:
- Basement Project. The construction team leaders (plumber, electrician, framer), including the president of Michael & Son Services, visited with Bryan Tiplady and the County Inspector in our home yesterday morning. Demolition work will begin next Saturday. The following Monday the operation will be in full swing and is expected to wrap-up within two weeks.
- Pool Table. I really need to find a home for the pool table. If not, can anyone help me have it disposed? It seems like such a waste if I need to go this route, but it simply cannot stay. This is a regulation-sized table with leather pockets. Racks, balls, and cues included. Felt in great condition.
- We should begin getting test results as they arrive at Dr. Rodriguez’s office from Reston Hospital today. I’ll keep everyone posted in the “Updates and Information” section on the Home page.
- IBRF will be visiting next Wednesday. For those new to the site, IBRF (International Brain Research Foundation) oversees Ryan’s recovery. We put Ryan’s treatment under their protocol.

- Electro brain stimulation will begin today. The delay in getting Ryan’s 3-D brain model — that was built from thousands of MRI images during that fateful trip to Johns Hopkins — means this will not be precise. Still, we can estimate where to place the electrodes on his skull based on CT scans and static MRI images.
- It will be a therapy-packed day, starting with the HBOT (Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatment) chamber. From there, I’ll need to double-up on therapies to get them in. For example, I’ll have him using the ActivCycle while he is getting his infrared helmet treatment and music therapy.

- Dr. Hinkle, Ryan’s eye doctor, is visiting this morning to continue monitoring the condition of Ryan’s eyes. My wife, Sue, claims he’s the nicest man in the world. I agree.
So, there you have it. A quick, but thorough update.
I have a friend interested – is it still available. If so, how does he get in touch with you. Patti
I decide to donate it to a youth group.
I’m sure your donation will make a lot of kids very happy!!
And tax deductable! Celebrate! Have a Corona!
Just reading this and the previous post makes my head spin! With all this going on I can imagine that you give thanks for the invention of coffee everyday 🙂
Ken,
You need more pool tables! How are you going to decide?
One decision you need to make but glad you have so many people interested. 🙂
See that! It pays to advertise! That was my field–talk it up. Hmmm–I vote for the church. Sounds like they’ll get it yesterday!
Hi Ken: I have a local church that is interested in the table for their youth group. When would you like us to come get it?
We are looking for a slate pool table, we have one of those cheaper non slate ones we can donate.. let me know!!
How far way are you from Morgnatown? How much do you want for pool table? Can it be broke down, transported and reassembled fairly easy? My husband has always wanted a pool table. Could be a fun road trip!
We’re about 3-½ hours away. No charge. It can be broken down, but the slate is single piece (8′ x 4′) and quite heavy.
Thank you, Ken, for updating us on everything that is going on — whew, you are one busy man!!! Lots of good things happening and I am so grateful for this!! Sending lots of love and prayers your way, especially with Ryan’s new treatment. Paula
Kari has some HOT weather for the beach….supposed to be near 100 degrees! Too bad about the porn, but at least you answered the question…boxers or briefs?
Hi Ken: I am checking with a church that has a large youth recreation room to see if they could use the pool table. Does it breakdown so that it can be transported easily?
Ken, I have two local churches that are checking to see if they have room for the table for their youth groups.
I does break down. Slate is one-piece and heavy!
Someone must know someone who would like to have your pool table, Ken. It is a fun game, especially for teens. Think about it, they will need to be pool sharks when they get to college–don’t want others to think they’ve led a sheltered life, do you? LOL Really, great fun for the family. More fun than Texas Hold-Em! Honest!
There now, you’re convinced. Pick up that pool table today! Still here–advertising a free-for-the-taking pool table.
Ken, A long day ahead,but good things getting done .Hopefully all tests will be good and hope you can find a minute to rest.Thanks again for keeping us informed on Ryan’s progression…Love to see more videos when you can find time??(really)Have a good day Love Gail
