Dad’s blog. July 24

I didn’t post a blog yesterday out of respect to Dana’s blog yesterday, and other than Chloe being a little down yesterday because Grandma was going home, there wasn’t much to report. We did get word yesterday that the Dietitian approved of Chloe being disconnected from her feeding pack for up to 8hrs per day, as long as it isn’t at night. So, before we took Grandma to the airport, we unhooked her for a little freedom. It’s always tough on a Chloe to say goodbye to Grandma, but she was a trooper and held back the tears.

After leaving the airport, we met up with Ramona for dinner at a little mexican restaurant in Oregon City – she ate half a Casadia and some nachos, then we went home and watched a movie (Drillbit Taylor) and had popcorn.

Chloe was hooked up to the feeds before going to bed, and stayed that way until about 2:00pm today. She had a good appetite this morning (2 bowls of Corn Pops), as well as the rest of the day. She played games with Colin (Skip-Bo and a couple video games) and then got in on another water fight this afternoon. After a spaghetti dinner, we decided to get out of the house, so we went to the mall and then over to Lake Oswego to feed the ducks. There weren’t a lot of hungry ducks, so we decided to have an ice cream snack and noticed a movie playing in the park – they play them free on a big screen every Thursday night! We didn’t stay for the movie, cause we had to get home so we could administer Chloe’s evening meds, but Colin and Chloe decided to take a bag of free popcorn for the ride home…both bags were empty when we pulled into the driveway. Then it was showers and off to bed. All in all, another great day of healing and energy.

Thanks,David
