Ich bin ein [Texas-Born] Berliner

Today I heard from Dr. Kempinski again after he visited Paul in the new hospital. He said that Paul’s condition was pretty much unchanged and that his ability to speak has not improved any. The hospital where Paul is now housed is not a long term facility and he is permitted to stay there only for a maximum of four to six weeks. Fortunately, the German insurance system does cover Paul’s stay in this facility but it does not cover long term care should that be necessary.

I wish the news were better as I’m sure you all do, but this is all I know at the moment. As more news becomes available, I’ll post it here.

I would point out that Paul’s 85th birthday is March 3rd. If you should write him as mentioned in the previous post, it might be a good idea to remember that milestone.
