Day 241 BMT 31

Hi everyone, it's Sherry giving an update of Eva's and my visit. You can't imagine how excited we were to see Rita and Dave. From the minute we got here, we have been laughing, eating and drinking-Burp! As you know Rita, there was an abundance of food; yet, we ordered pizza and wings for dinner. Needless to say, our order was messed up and it came in two orders. However, we did get a free pizza (we're not sure if there was spit on it--long story) so we ate well. This morning, the refrigerate fought Dave, as bottles and food came tumbling out from overload. Don't worry, he didn't get hurt. Of course, Rita doesn't let him throw anything away. If there were homeless people hanging around, they would have hit the lottery!


Last night all of us let our hair down...we are making a CD of "Rita's All TimeFavorite Songs". Dave tried to sneak his songs in, so we told him maybe we could make one for him called "Not Rita's Favorite Songs, but DAVES!" Our night was nostalgia and we all searched our memories, sometimes with no sucess-HA HA. If these sell millions, we're considering a Christman Album. Stay tuned...


Anyway, Wayne sent Dave Seagrams 7, so he was enlightened by an invisible guitar during our campfire sing-a-long. Wayne even graced us with a joke about him and Dave golfing. Long story short: he's Dave's eyes (since they are getting old), and on the next golf shot, Dave asks where the ball went--Wayne states, I can't remember!!! Sounds like our daily lives...



Most importantly, please know that Rita is progressing faster than expected. The doctors comment on her rosy cheeks, lipstick, and designer clothes (if there is such a thing for polka-dot PJs). Yesterday, she had real good numbers so the doctors said to have a great time with your sisters. We stayed up til 11:30 until Dave told us to shut up. We kicked him out of the bedroom, so we could keep whispering. Prayers said by all--sweet dreams.



It brought back memories of us all sleeping in one bed when we were kids...these beds were much more comfortable--believe me. Oh yeah, I almost forgot to mention that we did some of Rita's exercises--she's much better than me. She practically runs around now, which is a huge improvement from the last visit.



In any event, I know that GOD is watching over them. Dave has angel wings so we all are blessed to have him taking such great care of Rita. She doesn't get away with anything when he's around.



Lastly, I personally want to thank everyone for all your support during this trying time for the Lemieux/Briggs family. You never know what will happen in your life... It is heartfelt to have so many wonderful friends to lean on. Words cannot express my graditude.
