Because We Love Her

February 17th, 2010 Posted in Daily News Post

The morning started a day of nausea that was a challenge to contain, but it was. Then all the normal routines went without incident or excitement. That’s a plus I guess. Well, actually, there was one excitement. Chloe taste tested the last of her bread pudding and she could actually taste it a bit.

One of the highlights was her new wheelchair. It’s a little sports car compared to the sedan she has been using. She was spinning donuts in the hallway and can wheel it herself easily. The down side is that we don’t have the storage area on it when transporting her to therapy. I guess we’ll figure it out but it’s going to take some thought.

Tonight was a little bit of a fight. The therapists want Chloe to start participating in after hours activities. One of these was scrapbooking tonight. She wasn’t impressed when Dana insisted she go. I showed up in the SB room and Dana asked for some comic relief to get Chloe out of her mood. I did but she didn’t. Oh well. Then she grilled us as to who was the first to suggest she go to evening activities. She said, “They all couldn’t have said it at the same time so who was first?” It was pretty funny but in the end she accepted that we had no idea who said it first but that they all decided it as a good idea.

The only too bad of the day was they didn’t get outside at all. If you didn’t get outside in Portland today you really missed a great day. I even tilled the garden.

The absolute highlight of the day was when Wendy brought a little white polar bear puppy in for Chloe to visit with. Well… actually it really was a dog but I guess it looked more like a little bear. Chloe didn’t want to give it back but I think Wendy’s cousin would have been a bit upset with her leaving her 8 week old at the hospital.

That’s it for now. My furnace is working again. The hospital team is comfy. And the sleepy meds are working.

Be well,
Ron

    Hummmm Reeg… I got the yahoo account and then the flickr account and then it said I wasn’t authorized to view the photos. It’s sort of like treating me as “just the boyfriend…” Okay… that was an inside joke. But I couldn’t see Dexter.

    Yep, that is what her daddy looks like… A White Lion!

    Chloe what fun it was to see you. You made Melissa feel so comfortable and loved that she did not shake one little bit on the way home, and did not lose the rest of her lunch.

    I think she learned how to be courageous from you. Thank you.

    With love,

    Wendy
