Ron and I headed for treatment #14 on Friday morning - and good news - the machine was fixed. I also had my first of three gel or lubricant shots in my left (good) knee. We were thrilled we got to pick up the kids as walkers. They were excited to see us and surprised. When we arrived at their house, their Mom was already home and on a conference call - they were excited to see her early too! Garrison and I played a quick few games of matching, then all 3 of us played Spot It for a couple of games.
Ron chose Q39 for them to take us to for his birthday supper (BBQ). The 5 of us met Chad there as he was running late from work and his office was close to Q39. It was a busy place, but Amanda had made reservations for us at 5:30 p.m. We had delicious onion straws and another appetizer before getting our meals which were delicious!!!! Garrison's macaroni and cheese was so delicious - he let me taste it!
After dinner, Amanda and Chad needed to do a little shopping without little people help, so we took the kids and went to Orange Leaf for ice cream. We didn't have much time when we got home before bedtime, so it was a bath for Peyton and a shower for Garrison, and then to bed. Garrison let me read him two books - he loves to be read to. They both said the Lord's Prayer for their bedtime prayer and did great with it. So proud of them and their parents.
Saturday morning, Amanda fixed scrambled eggs and pancakes for breakfast before we all went to the soccer match at 9 a.m. Garrison played well. It was overcast most of the match with a nice breeze. Home for a bit, then to Olive Garden for lunch.
After lunch, the girls all went to get mani-pedis (Grammy only got a manicure), and the boys went home to rest and pay video games (Garrison and Grandpa) before it was time for Garrison's baseball game at 3 p.m. Grammy opted out since it was a 100 degree "comfort" index, but everyone else went. After the game, we came home.
Church on Sunday - I played the gathering music and the hymns with Sam. I baked Ron a cherry pie for his birthday dessert (his favorite), and made biscuits and gravy for lunch.
Going to Amanda's tomorrow after radiation and staying two nights. Garrison plays baseball Tuesday night, and I get to take Peyton to piano lessons, so will be a good time. Will come home after radiation on Wednesday.
God is good - we are blessed.
