"Train" to Clarkesville
Marcy enjoyed a day out yesterday. She was in her chair from 10a - 5p and didn't need suctioning the entire outing. Her trach secretions were minimal - not nearly as much as the five days out in a row last week (Fri: Encores Sale, Sat: Yard Sale & downtown Franklin, Sun: Encores Blessing Closet, Mon: Take Darcy to Aunt Laura's, Tue: Car dealer for Matt to buy Kia.)
We (Marcy, Cricket, and I) went yesterday to Clarkesville to meet Laura almost halfway to pick Darcy up from her 6 day visit. Laura, Danny, Alex, and Adam met us at a Dollar Tree store and visited for an hour or so. It was great to get Darcy back - and they said they were going to miss her.
From Clarkesville we came back to downtown Franklin to the antique store to return the clock I bought Friday. The clock Marcy wanted was still there, but the owner wouldn't discount the price enough to satisfy Marcy so she left without it. We also went to Ben & Jerry's - I think the first time Marcy has been with Darcy and me. We weren't the only ones who had the idea for ice cream on a hot Saturday afternoon - it was crowded and fairly difficult to navigate the chair through the stores and sidewalks.
After all that, Darcy was ready to get home to see the pets. It was a very happy reunion. Last night Darcy started catching up on her favorite shows that had been TiVoed: Project Runway, Shear Genius, Monk, Design Star.
Matt worked from 1- 9:30 and came straight home after work. Marcy asked him yesterday morning to wash his car before work. Last night he told us he had decided to wait until today when he had Darcy home to help him.
Daily Prayer for Marcy: Strength for outing today. Total relief from pain and discomfort.
12,362 signatures on the Extreme Makeover: Home Edition petition. I think the site's being down for almost a week stalled additional signatures. I plan to keep asking for signatures until we hear from producers of the show. It only takes 30 seconds to sign. Our extreme wish list here.
Lots of openings later this week and this month in August's Dinner Calendar. (click to see.)
