Under a level 4 is great - amazing what we consider great again. Hope all
goes well for John - I know it is a disappointment but..... How wonderful
to hear about the "steps" of development for Noah. Don't worry - 2 will
come soon enough.
You take care - glad to hear an update and to hear that in general all is
well (well except for the pneumonia etc. Again amazing what we consider
well now.
Take care,
kelly

Donna G says you guys need an update.
Just had Remicade today so very tired but I was so before I got there as I
just got back from Nashville from a week and putting my 89 year old
mother's borrowed walker plus my brother's walker into the car and out.
Mother is recovering from her fall and her blacken face is nearly back to
normal. Spencer has lost 20 pounds this year and I have found 10 of them.
Got that 10 when I caught the flu in Jan. [had the shot for that] which
led to bronchitis which then led to pneumonia [had the shot for that as
well]. Guessing the pneumonia shot kept me out of the hospital but just
barely. Was eating nothing but beef broth and chicken broth for about 10
days as my throat was screaming in pain from all the coughing and that was
when I gained the 10. Now there is something really really wrong and evil
about kicking a sick person when they are down. lol
A class I had been waiting to take since we moved to California was
finally offered again this year and I had signed up for that but had to
miss the first one due to being so sick. I did make it to the second one
and all the rest. I had forgotten how much fun that was. Planning on
taking a few more next year.
Of course the day the class was offered was the same day I keep Noah. I
get up at 6am and drive half way to the city to meet Jen and the baby. She
then drives to us around 5pm to pick him. Until just recently it had been
sooooo much fun but his weight is now around 18 pounds and I am having
trouble holding him. At 11 months he still doesn't get the ''put your arms
around my neck and hold on''. I had to tell her I couldn't do it next
year. At two he will be able to hold on and I can do it again. I am going
to really miss my weekly hugs and snuggles.
Anyway, she would pick him up at 5 and I would pick up my supplies and get
in the car and head up to Canada College for class. The class was suppose
to be over at 9:30 but often ran until 10:30. It was one long day but oh
so much fun.
New knee is giving me trouble again since the pneumonia due to not getting
out of bed for nearly two weeks. I had to start the rehab all over again
which is more than annoying but I am getting there.
Dancing again and that is great. Actually was suppose to perform this May
but John called me in Nashville and said his shoulder surgery is scheduled
on that very day. He has seen me through so much I said nothing. It is my
turn. Now I am going to have to learn to cook something enough to get us
fed for a few weeks. But I am glad that he is finally getting his shoulder
done as he hasn't been able to paddle in several months and is grumpy. lol
We moved into our house last June? I think after we had the whole thing
rewired, all the walls repainted as the electricians had fun with them,
all the floors sanded and some new hardwood laid where there was none
before, and a bit of plumbing done like a raised toilet in the master
bath. I love the laundry which is right off the kitchen and the fact that
this is a ranch style house and I have only two steps from the outside to
get inside. We replaced the lawn this spring and I had the gardener not
lay sod in several curves hugging the front lawn. I have been slowly
putting in plants and sometime next year, it should look great. My
favorite so far is weeping japanese cherry tree. Tomato plants are in the
ground in the back and I planted a cucumber this time too.
Had Noah in the backyard yesterday in the lawn. He kept patting the grass.
I was getting him to practice going from a sitting position rolling
forward onto his knees and then back to a sitting one all on this soft new
grass. perfect place to fall over and not get hurt.
And he finally figured out how to sip through a straw yesterday, the first
step in moving totally away from the bottle. That was really exciting.
So life is settling in here and except for a few niggling aches in my left
ankle and the stupid right thumb, I am practically pain free. Okay not
really pain free but under a level 4 which for me is quiet.
Hope all is well with the rest of the crowd.
Duckie
