Day 87 (Course 2 Day 33)

we had a great day today.. and really, are having a great weekend!  we had a little birthday party for mom and sherry with some delicious sour cream coffee cake for breakfast.. candles and all, luckily instead of putting close to 115 candles, we opted for 2... we are trying not to get kicked out when we have so many days left to live here!  at first, we didn't even think we were going to able to light the candles... but sherry pulled out a little MacGyver bag and found some flint and steel wool.. no just kidding.. she had matches... anyways.. the birthday party was fun and we enjoyed the cake! 

I had to give the lovenox shot today.. i was worried at first, but it came right back to me and i didn't even hurt mom!  that was a bonus! 

We solved more of the worlds problems.. laughed a lot.. played a joke on dad (we told him mom picked wig #1, and he sounded soooo disappointed, while trying to be supportive) and just caught up on life.  It was a great day for all of us and mom seemed so happy. 

The girls left around 2:30 to go shopping and dad arrived shortly after... he thinks mom looks even better today than yesterday! 

we cooked an excellent dinner... pot roast with potatoes and carrots and some fresh baked rolls.. we had 1 pot, a few ingredients, some beef broth from the kitchen downstairs, and made a great tasting dinner.. mom said it might and been the best ever... I think she's just getting her appetite back finally because everything has been tasting pretty good these past two days.. maybe it's just my touch!!

we've done a few laps in the hall.. mom can walk without her walker if she holds dad's hand.. she's getting stronger and stronger each day.   We're definitely moving in the right direction. 

It feels so good to be out here.. i love seeing mom getting stronger and better..

ok, i've babbled enough for the evening.. she sends her love and thanks all of you for thinking of her and sending your love and prayers.

love.
