Look Who's Twelve!

Late with the blog tonight as we were waiting for the birthday boy to show up for his gift. All but Abigail stopped by after church tonight. We gave Isaac a book and he left the fray of family and TV and started reading it. Poor Joy was with them, but still not feeling the greatest after having her wisdom teeth out on Monday...she's not her smiley self...yet...may be a while! They didn't stay too long as they were heading home to open his presents and have pumpkin pie (Isaac's request over cake.). Abigail was joining them so all would be together...the first time today that they could all get together to celebrate Isaac! Busy family! Our day went well. It seems that Woody still has a brain. Today was the culmination of the brain study that he has been participating in since he agreed to it while in ICU at Vanderbilt December 2022. At that time he agreed to donate his brain to science upon his death...so they have been doing follow-ups with us since his hospitalization. It partly had to do with confusion that happens when one is in ICU for a length of time. Today he pretty much showed her that he can still use his brain...and, we have now graduated from them coming to the house to ask him all kinds of silly questions. This time the meeting "only lasted 1-1/2 hours...the first time it lasted 2 hours. Maybe he was quicker with his answers this far out from his hospital stay!?! I have continued to remove ornaments from the tree. It's getting barer, but there are still quite a lot to take off. Nathan took the last few off the top that I was going to have to get on a step ladder to get...probably safer him getting them off...considering my fall record over the last month! Three weeks tomorrow and my eyes are still a bit black. If I think about it tomorrow night, I will put a picture of me at the end to give a three week update. Woody has felt fine today. I'm hoping that he will have a better dialysis treatment tomorrow than Tuesday's! To be continued! Be safe! Be well! Be cautious!
