Hello friends and family,

In early May, a series of events unfolded that have led to a new phase of care for Tim. He is at home and comfortable, but there have been significant changes to his health.

About two weeks ago, Tim suffered a brain bleed after a fall. He was admitted to Munson and underwent emergency surgery, which stopped the bleeding; however, Tim didn't recover from his surgery as we hoped he would. Before his fall he was showing symptoms of stage 4 Parkinson's. His injury has significantly exacerbated those symptoms and his life expectancy is being measured in weeks.

After consulting with medical professionals, we've decided to adopt a palliative care approach with Tim. We brought Tim home on May 22nd and are working with Munson Hospice and other care providers on an in-home basis. This means we will give him comfort care, but not seek further medical intervention.

Tim was relieved to get home. It's been wonderful for him to sleep and wake up in his own bed. We are thrilled to have him home. We are hoping that with better sleep, home-cooked meals and boat-loads of love his health can improve to some degree.

As of writing, he recognizes us and can speak a little, but otherwise is very sleepy and requires around-the-clock care. He's more alert and talkative in the evenings—from about 5pm to 8pm. We'd be delighted for you to visit, but ask that you do two things:

1. Plan your visit for the afternoon or evening
2. Text Anne, Scott or Evan to arrange the exact timing in advance to avoid a crowd

Thank you so, so much for all of the love and support you've shown us. And rest assured: our fridge is absolutely overflowing. We'll update this space periodically to let you know how things are going ❤️

With love,
the Perry's
