On the Road to Recovery

Late last August, our friend Paul Asselin suffered a massive stroke. No one expected a 44 year-old guy in average health would suddenly be stricken with suck a life-changing event. The doctors discovered a genetic pee-disposition to strokes caused by a blood clot releasing from the heart.

Paul's family held a benefit for him on Saturday night to raise money in an effort to defray some of Paul's medical costs. We went down with our friends Steve and Helen and saw many of our friends from camp who also came to support Paul. Almost 8 months after the stroke, Paul is recovering each day. He has limited movement on the right side of his body, but he can walk. Talking is much more difficult.

We enjoyed seeing him and giving our good wishes for his continued recovery. We got a photo at the event with Paul -- he's looking great!

The local newspapers ran a couple of articles on Paul. I've included them below.

We are looking forward to seeing Paul at camp at least one weekend this summer!
