Busy Monday Morning

                                                        

This morning was a bit confusing as we had to fit in two home visits...both the nurse needed to come and also the  PT guy.  The nurse usually comes on Wednesday, but the infectious disease folk wanted to check his creatinine level today to make sure that it was coming down so she did the blood draw and the picc dressing change so she won't be coming on Wednesday.  When I asked her if she would be coming on Monday next week, she said that she didn't want to say for sure since they were always changing something in the orders for Woody.  She hardly got out the door and PT arrived.  They are really pleased with how Woody is improving.  Woody was left with the impression that the main PT person was going to come back on Thursday and evaluate him.  I'm guessing that he will graduate from PT coming to the house and he will just do it on his own.  Guess we will find out on Thursday.

I'm pretty sure that he will only have nurses for another week.  Once his picc line is taken out, they won't be coming.  And, that should happen when he goes back to the infectious disease doctors on February 19th.  His 42 days of antibiotics through the picc line ends on the 18th.  He will also see Dr. Holt, his surgeon, on the 19th.  She plans to take X-rays that day.  It has been a month since his surgery.  

I had a usual Monday school morning.  Joy had her long time and finished up the project that she had 

been working on.  She designed a backpack and figured out how to make it on her own.  I helped by doing some serging on it, but she did the rest.  She was pleased with the outcome and that is what counts!

Woody returned a little while ago from the Monday night Furnace Room Prayer Meeting.  Once again, he didn't take his walker. 

Tonight's photos are not of my favorite bird.  But I had to snap a few pictures this afternoon, when we had a huge flock of starlings invade our neighborhood.  The trees were full of them as were the yards.  They were making quite a racket and got my attention.  It looked like they were eating the early growth on the oak trees...at least something drew them to this area.  

It was overcast today and a bit rainy for a little while.  But on the whole, it was another spring-like day.  We are getting spoiled.  We have heard that it will near 70 before the week is out...BUT then it will turn back cold.
