Cathy spent only a few hours on the trach collar today. It appears that we are in a pattern of one day with a high energy level and being able to tolerate long hours on the trach collar, followed by a day spent rebuilding her energy. Cathy did not have physical therapy today and she remained in bed the entire day.
Cathy is experiencing an adverse side-effect of one of her medications. Cathy has been receiving Lovenox to prevent blood clots. This medication is administered through a shot into the fleshy part of her abdomen. Apparently a nurse yesterday (or the day before) gave Cathy this shot into the fleshy part of her arm. This morning Cathy was unable to move her arm and was experiencing a bit of pain. There is a good sized bruise with a knot in the middle where the shot was given. This evening Cathy has started to regain some ability to move this arm and the pain is subsiding.

Cathy as I listen I think of you...
Blue jean baby, L.A. lady, seamstress for the band
Pretty eyed, pirate smile, you'll marry a music man
Ballerina, you must have seen her dancing in the sand
And now she's in me, always with me, tiny dancer in my hand
Jesus freaks out in the street
Handing tickets out for God
Turning back she just laughs
The boulevard is not that bad
Piano man he makes his stand
In the auditorium
Looking on she sings the songs
The words she knows the tune she hums
But oh how it feels so real
Lying here with no one near
Only you and you can hear me
When I say softly slowly
Hold me closer tiny dancer
Count the headlights on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen
you had a busy day today
Blue jean baby, L.A. lady, seamstress for the band
Pretty eyed, pirate smile, you'll marry a music man
Ballerina, you must have seen her dancing in the sand
And now she's in me, always with me, tiny dancer in my hand
Hi Sweetie!
How is our "tiny dancer" today? You may not feel like dancin' right now but I promise you that one day you will! And I'll be right there, dancin' with you!
Jacob and Brynn officially turned 7 yesterday and we had a great family dinner with Leyna. It was so awesome to have all my kids together. Wait until you see how big they are when we come down next month! It will be here before we know it!
I love you!!!!
XOXOXOXO
