Friday:
Went to visit Dad at the house and then on into Rolla to visit Mom for awhile. She was in the activity room working on a sun-ray to hang in the window. It was good to see her up. I had planned on going to buy groceries but apparently I forgot as I turned left on E and headed on home.
When Dwayne got home he was sick and ached all over. In addition to vomiting and diarrhea, his back hurt. We don't have a heating pad anymore so off to town I go to do the dreaded grocery shopping trip. Poor Dwayne was so sick all night and the next morning. I slept upstairs as Dwayne didn't want me to get the flu.
This picture is from last Wednesday night. Dad's room was next door to Mom's, so the nurses wheeled Mom into Dad's room so they could eat supper together. Mom looks worse than she is because of not having her teeth in.
Saturday:
April and Cash came over to spend the day. Dwayne was so disappointed he was sick as he had planned a Grandpa and Cash day. They were going to feed the cows, go visit Uncle Todd and then go to Uncle Chad's. It's so cute when he comes over, he goes to the patio door and holds his hands out like where is Chad and Todd? He says their names but he won't say Grandma or Grandpa.
Our girls day out + Cash started by visiting Grandpa. Cash loves playing with a cow toy someone gave Mom. He LOVES throwing things. He threw it at the bird cage and the bird got all upset. He thought it was hilarious as the bird was moving all around. He tried it again and found out he was in big trouble second time around. He pouted but soon got over it. Good thing Mom wasn't there as she is very protective of her bird.
We left and went to see Mom. She was sitting up in her chair and was in good spirits. She has pneumonia again and needs to be up and moving around. (A little hard to do when you're not steady on your feet and then have a broken ankle)
We went shopping to a few stores and then ate lunch at Panera's. Cash was getting so tired, we were sure he'd take a long nap when we got home. No luck, he was wound up. We watched TV and just relaxed for the afternoon. I made chicken 'n dumplings for supper. April cleaned the kitchen as I was on the phone with a friend of the family and he talked forever. Which is nice of him and I like visiting with him and his wife; I just wasn't in the mood to discuss my parents declining health. Any other time would be fine but I was feeling extremely stressed over Mom and Dad. Speaking of Dad, I don't think I've posted that he had to go into the hospital, too as he was very sick last week with the flu. They had to pump his stomach. A few rough days but we got through it.
Sunday:
I didn't go to church. Dwayne was still sick and I needed to go visit with Dad and Mom. Went to Mom's and Katie, her son, Tyler and his little boy, Liam were there. Liam is such a doll .
Liam Birdsong, now is that a cute kid or what?
Mom and Dad
We had left over chicken 'n dumplings for supper and then I ate an ice cream bar I had seen advertised on TV. Will never eat one of those again!! Later that night I got sick and by sick I mean constant vomiting (yucko!!) and diarrhea. I was sick all night, all day, Tuesday and I think today is Wednesday. I've lost track of time. I did keep my food down this morning. What a nasty flu bug!Monday:
Finally, we receive good news. My sister Judy's bone scan only showed the cancer in two of her ribs and the brain scan was clear. We were all so worried about it being spread everywhere. She started treatment yesterday. I pray all turns out well.
Well, enough of all this gloom and doom, how about this picture to brighten anyone's day?
I am so grateful to have grown up with the loving parents I have.
