Mom's energy level really seems to be improving markedly with every passing day. This morning the walk was hard for her & she wanted to turn back before we reached our planned destination (the corner), but tonight she walked at such a clip & went the furthest she's gone yet... all the way to the end of the bike path & back. We had a big celebration at the end of the bike path!! Tomorrow we'll start heading toward the park I think! She was awake a little more today, is eating really well & seems to be tolerating all the foods put in front of her without any problems. The way things are going, I do feel good about her progress. Next Friday she sees the gasteroenterologist for a follow-up, and he's the sole one in charge of her care on this particular health issue now. (Dr. Haimes has passed the torch over to him, saying he doesn't have enough experience in this area.)
For dinner I made Mom Russell's meatloaf, except used ground turkey instead of beef. I was so glad I'd copied down that recipe when we stayed at her house! It was my first meatloaf & came out very well. Uusi loved it with the green olives... she said it tasted like pizza...
Tomorrow morning Dave, Steven & Lea leave at 7:00 to begin the long drive back. They should get into Boulder sometime Tuesday afternoon or evening, if they let themselves stop & sleep Monday night. (GOOD PLAN!)
That's the news, and now for the weather... it's been a steady drizzle and at times good rain. When we took our walk tonight the skies cleared just until we got back!
Now back to finishing the printing of 275 copies of "Dona Nobis Pacem" for a Voice of the Rockies order due out tomorrow morning -- ah, some work to do!!
