I'm amazed by the strength and hope here! There's a lot of love, understanding, and courage. Thanks for being messengers. I'm so glad Bobber's getting good help now!

I don't know if this will help, for later when he's feeling better... I type one-handed, so i can't do it long without difficulty but most windows operating systems have voice recognition programs built in-you just need a good mike (i use a headset combo available at target and similar stores for $15 and up). the program can be frustrating sometimes and a few words need to be typed in, so sometimes i end up typing anyway.

from the windows start menu, go to: all programs- accessories-ease of access-windows speech recognition.

it took me many small sessions to set up and it's not fantastic, but it helps.
