Monday's news

We enjoyed our weekend.

Friday night, Chase's friend Daniel spent the night and they stayed up til the wee hours in the a.m. playing video games.

Saturday, Kelly and I went to her daughter-in-laws baby shower, had a pedicure and enjoyed lunch together. The boys hung out until Darrin ran Daniel home. Chase feel asleep in the car, so Darrin sent him off to bed. He slept until 6:30 Sunday a.m. Kelly decided to spend the night and we enjoyed her company. Chase and Deke lapped up the attention.

Sunday, we went to church and the sermon was on hope, healing, etc. Very appropriate and really something I needed to hear right now. Also, another one of those bizarre coincidences in life, Darrin had been walking around the house this weekend singing Amazing Grace (we thought it was funny, cause it was just a song that was stuck in his head and he couldn't get it OUT) . During the service, they ended with the song Amazing Grace. I had what I call a melt-down (crying and snotty nose). Although it was emotionally draining, I felt at peace when we left.

Here's a bit of the bizarre. On the way home from church we drove under an over pass and something fell onto the hood of the car and rolled up and over the windshield. We kept driving and then stopped. At first we thought it was kids throwing dirt of the bridge, but we didn't see any kids and I was realizing it wasn't dirt. So we back up and see a PEGION laying on the ground. I hate pigeons. We just kept wondering what happened. Did he fly into the bridge and then just drop? Was he sleeping and lost his perch? BIZARRE.

I did talk to the specialist's secretary this a.m. She said that she had passed on my paper work to the person that schedule's appointments at the ALS clinic (didn't realize they had one). I explained how I'd really like to be seen this week and she said the doctors are only at the ALS clinic on Wed. She's going to see what she can do. I told her I'll sit there all day Wed. on the off chance that they could work me in. Or go to any other facility any day this week. The waiting is really wearing me down. I've pinned hope on this doctor, even though I've told myself not too.

Well, that's all I know at this point.

Oh, yeah! Thanks to everyone that's contributed so far to the ALS walk! Don't forget to sign up on the team rooster.

P.S. I did try to upload some pictures on this blog site, but it didn't work out. I'll keep trying.
