Our son Dan calls with the exciting news Elodie Alora is born and tells me not to tell anyone until they get home. Roll my eyes. (that is like saying here is some candy but you can't eat it until tomorrow) I immediately call my mom and tell her as she doesn't do Facebook. Tuesday night Bruce wakes me up to say he can't breathe. He is wheezing. We call our home teachers and ask for a blessing at 10:30pm. They come over. Thank you for coming over. Bruce feels better and sleeps with the bed propped up. I sleep on the couch, in the living room, with the dog.
Wednesday morning, Bruce is still having trouble. Called the Dr for an appointment and she is not in today, they suggest we take Bruce to the ER. Three hours in the ER, tests with blood, urine and X-rays. He falls asleep waiting for the results. He has a slight fever, all results are negative. They tell him to breathe deeply. We return home and he goes to PT. I take Andrew to the Fourth Street Clinic, pink eye infection. Return home for a 20 min nap and Bruce gets home from PT. He is sleeping and snoring away. I was going to go to tri cities with some friends, maybe next month.
Rosala and Debbie brought over sloppy joes, an orange, mandarin jello salad and a hot berry crisp. Are we blessed or what?
I missed my quilt Quester meeting. They had fun without me. So happy to see the photos they posted.
Thursday Bruce morning was at the Stake center paying the bills and that evening at he helps with a Bishops Training meeting. I found some energy and Duncan and I washed the van.
I can't get the wax hand machine to cool enough for Bruce's hand. He found out washing the dishes in hot water does the same trick. Yeah. So he gets to do the dishes every other day. Bonus!
Friday our caretaker was sick so Duncan helped me get Bruce changed, dressed, stretched and out of bed. Then the construction workers showed up to finish the job after being absent for a week. The last cabinet and broken door replacement finally arrived. Our dog Hali does not like the noise of the drill. The kitchen looks great. Thank you Levi! We are waiting on the electrician to install the last couple of lights and it will be finished.
Bruce and Duncan set the water from the well to water the garden and then did the final spray of the cherry tree. They are almost ready for picking. Bruce goes to PT and is quite pleased with some massage therapy. He said his lungs, shoulder and back felt better.
I called my friend Chris and join her and Rosala and Sonnet for a movie and popcorn. We watch Inside Out. A delightful story about feelings and how parents react to their daughter. I only teared up once... From allergies.
Saturday my friend Carol takes me yard sailing. We haven't been in for evah! We head to Elgin for the quilt show, fabric and more yard sailing. I spent too much money on a couple things for the family reunion in July. I found some paint by number kits for the grandchildren, some light up yo yos, a couple of shirts for Bruce, a dog toy for Hali, a small glass pitcher and a small white pyrex mixing bowl for moi.
Saturday afternoon Bruce and I go to a wedding shower. Everyone is happy to see him. I smile and head for the food.
Sheesh, another week of spasms, ER room and baby steps.

Can you see the squirrel in Grandma Ruth's tree?
