Katie started school on Wednesday this week. She is in second grade--hard to believe isn't it. It seems like just yesterday she was Bree's age. Bree starts preschool again on the 19th. Katie had a bit of a rough week, not only was the playground closed this week, she got bumped on the bus ride home which knocked out a front tooth. The tooth was loose anyway, but now she has lost both front teeth. I'll try to post a picture soon of my toothless kid.
My brother Butch is doing really good. One of his doctors has released him back to driving, but one of the other doctors would prefer him to wait until his MRI's are clear. I think him being able to drive is helping his mind set and he doesn't feel like a burden anymore.
Some sad news is I lost an aunt yesterday who was diagnosed with the same type of tumor as Butch. She did not respond as well to treatment as Butch did. She developed some internal bleeding due to treatment. She was transported to Jewish last week, but doctors even there could not help her. She passed away last night and her funeral will be on Monday. It's an odd number year for me.
I'm still talking to Todd 2-3 times a week on the phone so we're still feeling each other out and learning about each other. He did enjoy my birthday dinner and pie. He returned the favor by helping me move my new furniture in the house. I might to get to meet his daughter tomorrow.
That's it for now!!!

Wow! It's hard to believe that Katie is that old. That's great news about Butch. I hate to hear that about your aunt. We'll keep you and your family in our prayers.
ReplyDeleteI always hated for my kids to get older, it meant I was getting older. Now they are really old and I swear I am getting younger. It must be old age and the mind thing.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear about your aunt. I hope this does not discourage Butch. He sounds like he is doing so well. They let Timmy drive 1 month after his stroke and he couldn't read or talk very well. So they should just let Butch drive. It might help his progress.
You better quit feeling Todd out. That could lead to something else.
Have a great weekend.

Rusty, I think the ability to drive is helping Butch. He doesn't feel like a "burden" anymore. When I was telling him about Aunt Garnet, his first comment was did I need a ride to the wake and/or funeral. I thought at first it was to cut down on the number of vehicles, but he went to say he wasn't sure how torn up I was going to be and whether I would be able to drive. I guess he is still looking out for his little sister after all these years.
ReplyDeleteI don't think Todd and I are anywhere close to the "something else" quite yet. ;-)
