Here's a tiny bit of Good News (tm): Rosemary got moved to a cardiac rehab hospital, so she's in a more copacetic place where she can recover and be exercised until she can climb 13 steps and come home!
Note that previous to the operation, 13 steps was a major chore for her (bad knees and yes, exhaustion brought on by leaky heart valve).
She'll also be allowed to wear normal clothes, so I'm bringing her a bag of pajamas and so on tomorrow.
Sending massive coping vibes to Cindy and msbelle.
In celebrating small victories. Mac attended all 4 classes today and was not even tardy once. First time that has happened all week.
The bar is so low it is more of a tiny road bump.
(Jotting that down for future lyric in my musical)
Hey, it's better than nothing!
What's on tap for the weekend?
Emmett and his friend Kalena will be coming down to have breakfast with us tomorrow.
Then Matilda has a sleepover into a birthday party which will involve Bubble Soccer. (I think that means being inside a giant bubble, bouncing into other en-bubbled people). We had to sign a waiver.
Also I took Matilda to the orthodontist today and she got all the x-rays and photos and molds done so next visit is putting them on. The photos actually turned out to be the hardest part because they had to stretch her lips back to shoot her teeth, and the tech was really scraping her gums until her eyes watered.
I don't know if you remember the school nurse on The Oblongs but she was like that.
