Thursday April 2

Daddy slept good again last night.

It took a while for me to get to sleep, but I did.

The little ones both wanted to go to school today.

I got them all ready and Vern came and picked them up to take them to school.

Elsie was sad and started crying.

I told Vern to just bring her back if she has a hard time.

Well, she sent me a text later saying that Elsie had a warm welcome of hugs from her friends, and she was gonna be just fine :)

She checked on her when she went to go pick the boys up.

Elsie was at lunch and Vern sent me a picture :)

She was happy to be with all her friends again.

When Vern brought Porter home, she said that his teacher, Mrs. Grayson, said that he has had one of his best days since December (you know, when that other back thing happened!)

So that made me happy.

Billy stopped by this morning to check in on Brent.

And Bubbles and Eldon came over with more fun goodies for laid up people :)

A little reacher/grabber thing, a wheelchair, shower chair etc....

We also had Jason Woodward come by and say that he had set up for a pro stair guy to come in and talk to me about what I wanted and to give a quote to Jason.

And he said that there are so many people wanting to do something and are donating money to get things done.

It is too much.

How can people be so good?
So giving?

Like Brent said "I'm broken, not broke!"

Anyway, we will see what happens when we come to that payment road, but that bill doesn't need to be paid too!

Let's see, the big girls stayed home, but Carley (home schooled) invited them over to watch a movie.

So that worked out.

Drew and Heather stopped by to check on us, and talk about plans for getting the wood floors down.

Later on I finally got Brent into the shower.

I think it felt really good, but also not so good, ya know.

But it was nice to get him in fresh clean clothes and I even shaved a little of his neck :)

I did pretty good, if I do say so myself.

After that, I needed to run and take the image disc out to his orthopedic doctor so we can make plans on what we need to do.

On my way there, I won't lie.....emotions were broiling at the top.

I guess I haven't had much time where it was just me with my thoughts.

So that was kinda rough...

I am good.

Just for a moment it all seemed so hard.

But I have an army behind me.... my family, my friends....everyone around us.

So I'm good.

I know I can do this.

We got yummy dinner from the Furhrimans tonight.

She dropped it off when I was gone delivering the disc to the doc.

When I got home, Cassi was in the kitchen getting it all ready.

So that was cute :)

Good little helper.
This evening we heard more footsteps upstairs, finishing up the cover plates on things.....I know it was Jason but also David Leveille.
Maybe everyone is sick of me saying it......but we are so grateful for the people in our life.
