"Opps My Bad"

Nurse Julie was over today, part of our planned weekly visits. Dar is in good health, and continues her good spirits.

Julie plans on showing me how to replace Dar's "G Tube" in the event we had a problem or accidently pulled her's out. I learned that part of the Foley catheter can be used temporarily in most cases. This wil be valuable information to have.

Dar still continues to show some signs of Thrush, a common problem in infants. We have been treating it twice daily and are going to increase it to 4 times per day.

I really messed up this morning, Julie was supposed to take a blood draw for Dr. Garretson and dum dum me forgot that Dar was supposed to "fast" for 12 hours prior. I can't believe I forgot. I have only been reminding Jamie for days, and then I forget. My bad!!!

Julie will stop by in the morning around 10:00 and try again. I won't forget this time.

Kerry, from Carpets Galore stopped by around 5:00 yesterday and we pulled a section of the carpet around Dar's bed to find what we were hoping for. The most beautiful origional hardwood floor, I know now that it goes throughout the whole house. I cleaned the area this morning and tomorrow in the am one of Kerry's staff will be out to but the metal carpet edge down. I was really pleased to see this beautiful floor.

Apria medical will be out also to replace Dar's matteress with a 12 inch "low flow" mattress and compressor. This will be a good switch as the mattress we have now is not tall enough to allow the standard heighth of the bed to go high enough for Jamie and I to comfortably attend Dar.
We will also be taking a trip to town to have Dar's chest x-ray.

Jamie is spending the day in Butte Meadows hunting for a Christmas tree, I hope she has a good time.

Dar's sister Diane called from Oregon using her new Skype program and had a good time with Dar. In fact Maverick had fun too, he got to see Dar's cat Lizzy on the computer and all but tried to climb into the silly screen to get to Lizzy, was quite funny.

Well I hope you all had a great weekend with friends and family over the holiday

Take care and we will talk again soon,

Love to all,

Dar/Danny/Jamiesue/Mav
