It was a much better night last night. Nurse “E”, yup, that’s her name, was all over it that the pulse ox machine didn’t have the needed attachments. We didn’t get what we really needed but did get something to keep her safe through the night. Tonight will be the same thing with a monkey rigged toe sensor.

Morning came early again but, at least, we were able to sleep most of the night. The quiet nights are good nights. Getting Chloe ready for school seemed to go a bit easier also. We asked the nurse to take care of a few things in the morning that make it quicker getting her ready.

The bus drivers need some kind of guide for parking in front of the house to pick Ms C up. It’s just not a very smooth surface out there so the different drivers have been trying different places. Some stops have completely blocked the street and these stops aren’t quick. One stopped driver gave Dana a few road rage gestures the other day.

Dana and I were able to get out and run some errands today while Chloe was at school with the nurse. It was good to get her out, even if it was just three hours. We returned to the house with ten minutes to spare before Chloe got home.

Laura delivered a delicious tuna casserole and dessert. We sure have a wonderful group of friends supplying food. That takes a huge load off our daily to do list. Karen Preston helped with the website lotsahelpinghands.com. It’s probably easier for anyone who wants to get involved to just get in touch with Karen directly or through this website.

Chloe, Dana and I walked across the street to sit in the grass. Chloe flipped dandelion heads to us until there weren’t any more. At first she didn’t want anyone to see her walk but we soon had her motoring along. While we sat there a half dozen of her friends came by and they all were happy to see her. Colin came home from school about then and joined us.

Today Chloe has been planning dinner for tomorrow night. She emailed me from way across the room this message: “So do you have whole milk, good quality 70% semisweet chocolate and confectioner’s sugar? Bob Evans maple roll sausage, Montery Jack cheese, green onions, sour cream, salsa, and quacamole.” I don’t, so I guess we are going shopping tomorrow afternoon somehow.

Hopefully you all were able to get out in this wonderful day. Tomorrow is supposed to be even better so we will be out for sure!

Be well,
Ron
