The Bakers left after supper last night. Curt wanted to go out to our porch and wave goodbye to them.
Linda had some more information for us today. She said Curt's jerking, etc., could be a side effect of the anti-nausea gel I put on his arm 1/2 hour before he eats. I am glad to discontinue that to see what happens. Another cause of the jerking could be that the tumor has reached some nerves in his brain. This could lead to a seizure. I will need to contact them right away. They are having some medicine delivered here today for them to use if this happens. So one more thing to look out for. Linda also said not to feed him if he doesn't want it. So far when I ask him, he says he is hungry.
Tom Plant called this morning to say the OSU Computer Science Department is going to offer a $1000 scholarship in Curt's name next Fall. Tom is checking on the funding for this. I think Curt wanted to give some money to the OSU Foundation for this. Tom wanted to know if Curt had any preference on who could receive it (i.e. undergraduate or graduate or whatever). I don't think Curt cares. It is very hard to understand him.

Joan, could folks donate money to the scholarship in Curt's name? I'm sure Bob and I would be glad to do that. It's a nice tribute to Curt and his work.

I agree with Patricia. I believe that some old classmates from MHS Class of 1961 would love to donate to a scholarship fund in Curt's name as well. Please make sure that when this planning is complete that you have a way for others to donate directly to the University with all information spelled out on how to make out the check and an address for mailing it in. I continue to check back often. You are in my prayers every night.
