Home Health was out today, Dar's lungs are clear, all in all she looks really good.
Next Friday the nurse will flush Dar's porta cath for the first time. Supplies were delivered today. Respitory Therapy is going to come out on the 28th form Sierra Health Supplies just to answer any questions we might have regarding Dar's trach and suctioning and the like.

Supposed to have a visit with Dr Verma for a follow up since Dar's return home on the 8th. The 29th we are off to see Dr Darwin, Dar's Primary for a routine check up.
Waiting to hear why we have not seen anything of PT and Ot since we returned home. They must be busy. Hoping to hear of the progress on Dar's specialty splints for her arms and hands. ***** moments ago I just heard from OT, we have a plan, more to follow in the days ahead,. Will fill you in next week.
Margie is off tomorrow so she can bring her mom home from her recent stay in a care facility, they are all looking forward to that. Margie has found a live in aide to help her mom.
I plan on a fishing day with Elby Sunday when Margie returns. Looking forward to that in a big way. Dar tells me I'm gonna catch a 7 lbs bass, that would be sweet.
Tonight Dar and I just plan on kickin back and enjoy the birds chirping in the front yard, a little light reading, and just having a good time together. A good night sleep for both of us would be really sweet.
We did a sleep study on Dar the other night and it is quite interesting to see what her body does during her sleep. The study records heart rate, O2 saturations in her blood, how long she might stay at a specific saturation, all kinds of information. Really interesting to read the results.
The top caps should be here Monday for the retaining wall and if the weather holds for us, Dan will be here with his small “finish tractor” on Tuesday to backfill the wall and spread the new road base. I hope to have the “finish caps” on by Monday night.
Only a little over a moth of school left and the “little kiddies” will be gone for the summer, then my real work begins. We are hoping to have our funding to begin our new gym/multipurpose room and possibly our new pre-school. If all this comes to light I will be a very busy “project manager”, in addition to all the “routine” summer work at our school.
If I were to ask a specific prayer for Darlene, it would be this. Please pray that she continue to get stronger as the weather begins to change and get warmer. Last summer in the bay area she did very, very well. In her chair everyday for several hours, outside on the deck with friends and family every weekend, out in the activity room with other residents. She was virtually busy doing something everyday. Please pray that she will get stronger and stronger as we head into the summer.
Again, thank you for your continued prayers and your faithful support. We truly appreciate it and it is much needed.
Love to all,
Dar/Danny/Jamiesue/Margie
