Here we are sitting on an Airplane again but this time heading for Home :)
Yesterday, Memorial Day, was a lot of fun as well but I can tell you the energy levels were much lower the second day. We all slept in and then had a slow and leisurely breakfast at the Hotel. The boys and I left for the Mall the same time Ron had to leave for the Academy for his training. We met Sonya, Addie and Ren to see the new Shreck movie which was very cute and I can say the Witches were no issue at all. This time I brought the Wheel Chair because Connor was sore when he woke up in the morning but the irony is that Alexander was so tired from the day before that we actually ended up taking turns with the Chair. Connor got to sit in it about 70% of the time but had to share with Alexander as well :)
We ended our Day with meeting part of our Texas ‘Family’, Len, Angela, Alisha, Kendra & Rebecca for Dinner. Our boys by far got a huge boost of energy right before we went downstairs for Dinner and it lasted all the way through it. You all know I can talk BUT my goodness they were each going about one mile a minute. Do you know what a tightrope you walk when you have two talk active six year olds that have no care or sensitivity levels for what comes out of their mouths?
So after a restless night for two of us and a good night for the other two we are now on our way back Home. There was a 30 min delay leaving DFW due to a wet carpet in the First Class Galley but we were happily seated in Row 7 and 8 in coach on a flight that was only 2/3 full :) and other then some boredom for our two dumplings we passed this time delay easily.
Now we have one day, today, with Ron at Home and then he will be of to Paris tomorrow morning. We are glad to come home but I admit the Gypsy in me is waking up again after a 6 months break and some Ice Cream under the Eiffel Tower does sound tempting :) Okay, maybe we are not there yet with Connor but this trip to Texas opened my eyes that we are one step closer again to having part or our Life from prior JDM back bit by bit :)
...... Day 3 ...I was going to post this blog when we got home but we got busy cleaning out the garage and also taking the boys for a ride on the 4-Wheelers. The part I could have skipped is Alexander ran a fever last night and was hallucinating or sleepwalking on top of it. Now this morning he is doing much better with a low grade fever of 99.8’F.
As to some future planning I got to talk again to Dr. Rider today and depending what Dr. Soep say’s tomorrow for Connor’s fourth IVIG we might be making plan’s soon to travel to Washington DC to enter Connor and Alexander in the Twin Study and possibly as well into the Myositis Study.
You all might wonder now what some of my posts have to do with Connor and JDM and I guess I keep writing about our Family Adventures because this is a look into how much progress or not we are making to getting back into our old life :)
I wish I could put in words how wonderful those two days were for us here in Texas! We had a precious time and it once again showed us how blessed we are with having this amazing network of friends and family.
So Thank You to all of you that took time for us while we swooped in :)
Hugs,
R A C A
