We have rain! A light but steady rain and I'm loving it! We have the door open and can hear it on the roof.
Yesterday we were back at the hospital, met the nurse who came to evaluate Ernie and loved her on sight. Her assessment was much the same as ours - on Ernie and on the care he's been getting (or not getting
). She feels he would do best in an adult care facility and turns out there are two of them within 2 miles of our house. We're going to tour them in the morning and make a decision. Bill's cousin, who has been on two vacations since this all started and who has the actual POA and controls Ernie's money finally decided maybe he needs to come home a few days early. So he should be here by Tuesday which should simplify things. We've been having to front the money for everything from our own account. We also have to go shopping later today to get some clothes for Ernie - sweats and simple pull-overs and slipper sox, I think. And we can arrange for PT to visit 2x/wk to see if we can get him up into a chair. Can't believe in almost 7 weeks they have yet to even sit him in a chair! Anyway, things seem to be resolving!Ernie fidgets a lot with his hands so I've decided to make him a fidget quilt. I've been watching U-tube videos - some great ideas out there! I have a lot of stuff, but we'll be off to Michael's this afternoon to pick up a few more things. I plan to make one for my DSIL in Alaska, too.
Seahawks game is on at 10am (which is why all our shopping is going to be this afternoon!) and our team is in Pittsburgh! We're going to play Irish and her team! I'll be wearing my favorite Seahawk tee shirt and earrings, so we're sure to win, right?
MARY ROSE - thanks for all the sweet words! I think we're all vying to offer Jana's Sarah opportunities for extra credit! lol!
JANA - you've got an entire landscaping crew at your house! Glad you're getting rid of those light fixtures. We got trapped by those, too, but only in our downstairs - not the entire house. They are long gone to the dump.
IRISH - thank you! I think my boy is a handsome dude, too. But he looks so much like his dad - mannerisms, posture, and all. Though people say he and his sisters all look like me. So - game on!! Will it be blue or yellow that rules the field? Our last game was a squeaker.
BECCA - nice to hear the twins are progressing so well. It had to bring tears to Mommy and Daddy's eyes to hear that first cry!
Supper tonite will be - I believe - meatballs with pasta. probably marinara sauce, but Bill may prefer an alfredo. His wish, as always, is my command.
What are you wishing for tonite?
Go Hawks!!
