4/10

Today was my bright spot. Ethan slept in. He had 2 hours of therapy. He then decided for both of us that we would have a day of rest and quiet. Lady Loud was cooperative today. She spent most of her time in the parent lounge and therefore I did not. The room was quiet and wonderful.

Ethan and I played a game together the majority of the day. We sat quietly in each other’s company and it was delightful for us both.

While he was at PT, I went on a walk and enjoyed the spring sunshine. We are still in a “city” setting and don’t quite have the spring noises we are used to like the peepers and variety of different birds singing. I did watch a pair of kinky birds playing “leap frog” wink wink. Some things never change no matter what the setting.

We also received numerous texts, pictures and videos from everyone having so much fun at The Little Speed Shops annual ‘Fun Run 21’. Ethan was bummed he couldn’t be there but vows he will be there next year to maneuver his car around the Watkins Glenn Track!  Ethan also looks forward to getting back there in the future.Thank you to Jill and Kevin at The Little Speed Shop for the fundraiser in Ethan’s name! Thank you to everyone that participated and supported us! It seems like everyone had a blast!

Lady Loud fell asleep this afternoon. Ethan and I were very respectful and quiet because it’s the right thing to do. If we had to do anything loud we would go in the hall. Ethan and I talked about being the bigger person. We took the high road.  The view is better.

Right after dinner Ethan had a vomiting sneak attack. He made his vomit face and luckily I caught most of it in the barf bucket. He did get some on his shirt and pants. We were able to get it in the washing machine and all cleaned up very quickly. We reported it right away to the nurse as we aren’t supposed to ignore anything. I am not concerned.  He was weaned again on his methadone today, he had a lot for dinner, he drank his milk too fast and there are many things that could have caused it. He doesn’t feel sick and we moved on.

We are one day closer to going home!!!!
