Just In Case We Didn't Have Something To Do

Tomorrow is Aunt Helen's departure day. She has been looking forward to going back to her little house in Colorado. Mom and I will take her to the airport in the early afternoon, walk her to the gate, and hope for the best. One of the girls suggested writing Aunt Helen a card that says: I am flying on a plane to Denver. Not a bad idea, really.

Today when the new home health company nurse was interviewing Mom and Dad, she noticed that Dad has a lot of pooled fluid in his arms, hands, legs, and feet. I had thought it was just swelling or puffiness. The nurse suggested Dad see his cardiologist. I got on the phone and wonder of wonders, we have an appointment at 10:00 tomorrow morning! This is really a relief since we cannot get in with the pulmonologist until July 20th.

Also tomorrow, Ev will attend her last session of Pioneer Days Camp, Nate will go to a birthday party complete with Astros ballgame, Dave and Karis will go to a wedding rehearsal and dinner, Karis will babysit for the afterparty, and poor Meg has no plans at all. I'm looking forward to coming home and vegging out in front of the t.v. tomorrow night. I've already got a nice Shiner Bock waiting in the fridge.
