How is our week going you may be wondering? Pretty darn great. Colby had a good week at school, which in turn meant that I had a good week doing whatever the heck it is I do to fill my day. Two good weeks of school in a row, great job kiddo. Today Colby had a field trip. They took all the elementary classes from his school to a local movie theater to see Finding Nemo 3D. We had the whole theater to ourselves, probably about 25 to 30 students, plus teachers, aides, nurses and some parents. Trust me, quite the adventure. Colby did great. He sat up the whole time. I looked over at him during the movie. He just looked so darn cute. He had his 3D glasses on over his regular classes, his vent on, letting out the occasional jabber. Oxygen and heart rate steady as could be, the stinker. Don't think for one second I ever take days like this for granted, because I don't. We've been through way too many shitty days for me not to recognize a wonderful one when it's happening.
Colby also got a massage today. He's getting massage therapy through Hosparus once a month. Then his night nurse and I gave him a bath. Totally relaxed after that he was. He was practically sleeping when the nurse was doing his nighttime routine.
I won't get into all the details, but sadly and officially we're not getting a house anytime soon. Just not meant to be right now, and I'm cool with it (not really). I've totally accepted the fact (it sucks terribly). However, now I can move forward, switch gears and get some other stuff done. Called the shelving company, and I'm going to go ahead and get the shelving system put in Colby's room. That will make a huge improvement in his room, giving us more storage, better arrangement, more room to maneuver Hoyer lift, wheelchair and bath chair around, etc. And I'm going to start looking for another van. Can't believe we'll be saying goodbye to the Turdmobile sometime in the near future, but it's time. I'm ready for some changes.
This chick is going to bed. Good night all. More tomorrow probably.
