no – i’m not pregnant.  let’s just clear that up right now.   🙂

today i received 2 dozen of the most beautiful roses i’ve ever seen.  red, pink, white, white with pink edges, white with red edges.  absolutely gorgeous.  and from who you ask?  my husband.  <3  it was such a surprise as he hasn’t even laid a finger on a computer since the accident.  thank goodness for 4G, no?  <3  with the roses came the most thoughtful card – that covered everything.  even when he’s all laid up – he still lubs me.  ::cue the awwwws::

kev didn’t sleep well last night – he had some trouble getting comfortable.  today he was foggy.  just kind of tired and not real sharp.  he’s having trouble thinking on his feet a little bit i think.  it’s all just part of the healing of his brain injury.  it will heal – he’s just feeling some of the healing symptoms i guess.  he took an extra nap today and that seemed to help.

kev also had physical therapy in the pool with rich today.  i think he kind of enjoyed it.  being in the pool he was weightless and all the pressure of his broken back was gone for 30 minutes.  he goes again on friday.

we had dinner with my mom tonight too.  it was really good to see her.  and it was a great excuse to get her out of her room.  i told her we’d meet her in the dining room.  she was excited.  she LOVES to show off our kids.  tonight she even remembered grant’s name is grant – not garth.  :banghead:

she’s doing really well.  she repeated herself a couple times – but overall – looking maybe the best she’s been in the last 3 months or so.  she’s really rallying.  kev and i were talking about it tonight and we think she’s really started to take responsibility for herself because she knows the next episode is her last.  🙁

whatever the reason – she’s doing great and i’m feeling very grateful.

after dinner her and kev took a little stroll around the building.  walker to walker.  it was kinda funny.  i loved it.  i took some video – but i don’t know how to upload it to the blog (i’ve allowed myself to be a bit computer stupid because anytime i need anything – i call super kev and he gets it done… alas).  so a picture will have to do.

at the desk there was a card for ray’s family.  i signed it.  i told them how sorry for their loss i was and how he was my favorite resident.  i told them how he always wanted to take nora on a ride on his scooter up and down the halls.  and… i told them how empty highgate is without him.  i really liked that old dude.  i was feeling the loss tonight at dinner when he wasn’t there – napkin tied around his neck waiting for his diabetic dessert.  i told them i’m praying for them.

nora had a great time at school today too.  she’s becoming quite the little ham.  man – i adore her.

g-mack and i are still sick… but doing a little better today than yesterday.  thank goodness.

until tomorrow,
