First Full Day at Home

Talked to Mom tonight and got the scoop from Today. Today was a good day. The weather has been warm, so Mom had to go buy flip flops..boo hoo :-) That has made it very comfortable for Amy. She was up and about a number of times today. Per Doctor's orders, she needs to be up to get circulation going and reduce the risk of clots, etc. Amy was super excited to wash her hair! It had been a few days, so I can see how that was a highlight. Jeff and Amy even got out of the house today for a road trip to Old Navy and other shopping.

The kids are adjusting to Mom being back home too. Big Ben is getting back into a groove, but Lauren has a little bug. So she is on the BRAT diet...no she isn't a brat..it stands for Bananas, Rice, Applesauce and Toast. So while everyone else was enjoying all the great meals being provided by friends, poor Lauren is stuck with Applesauce and Toast. Speaking of the meals, their fridge is overflowing with food. They actually had to start spacing out the deliveries so they could get to it all. Mom actually mentioned that they may get a new freezer to hold all the food....I guess they are on sale at Sears if you are interested. Steph and I actually have the same model that used to be the old family freezer...works like a charm!

Sound like one of the biggest challenges Amy has is juggling all the meds. Each one has it's own set of directions, may or may not require food, etc. She is having to have a lot of smaller meals to keep food in her stomach to try and avoid not feeling well.

That's all for tonight. Mom made the comment that they are checking the blog, so keep those well wishes coming :-)
