Sorry I’m so late with the blog today! Yesterday was rather uneventful (in a good way). My mom had a new aide for the day (she was no Krystal, but all seemed to go well). Hopkins was on time with radiation, and transport back was on time, too. Mom has been feeling good, and we are planning for her return home. We read mom the blog and the messages (she says keep them coming…she looks forward to hearing from you each and every day, and misses when there aren’t too many too read).
We had preschool for Micah yesterday…he was so well behaved! I made it to Hopkins early, and Maya and I got our usual attention. On our way back from Hopkins, I detoured to the grocery store to take care of a minor “emergency”…we ran out of Breyer’s Chocolate Ice Cream! Mom was very itchy yesterday, so I spent some time greasing up her face and head.
I left early for the day and came home to bake cupcakes for Elliot…it is his birthday (today…the 20th). I am experimenting with a new recipe, so we’ll see how it all turns out. We hit another major milestone…Maya actually took a bottle! I think we may finally have gotten her over the hump and she seems to have figured out how to suck. It was such a relief. She only took 2 ounces, but I am declaring victory. I hope she will take a bottle again tomorrow!
It is 7:00 am…I’m getting the “yesterday” and “today” all mixed up in this journal! Today (meaning the 20th) should be interesting…we have a family meeting to discuss my mom’s rehab stay, and I have plans this afternoon with Arleen and Rayna. Lorin will join us for dinner, and we’ll all have dinner together.
