Feb 17-March 1

Day 371-385
Once again 2 weeks have gone since my last post. We are doing well, in spite of the uncertain weather. We had a holiday on family day, and that got us a bit confused because we do have a schedule! Glenn is making advances in the right arm mobility area, his OT is really trying to get it to be more usable, and there is definite improvement. He is eating well enough that we really don't rely on the tube feeding anymore. We've been to the doctor, and are weaning him off the antidepressant, so far all is well. She sent us for a bunch of lab work, so we'll see if he can come off anything else. The sooner the better as far as I'm concerned.
We celebrated Dale's 23rd last Friday, and are looking forward to Jackie's 21st on the 5th. Mom will be 81 on March 14, and there are a few more in March that we are going to be celebrating. Large families bring lots of birthdays that's for sure! We made sausage yesterday, much to Glenn's dismay. They didn't make him do anything, but it got to be a long day anyway. We stayed until it was smoked and everything. Then I left a bunch of it at Fred and Kris's, so now I have to get it picked up somehow. It was Dale's fault, I was busy getting Glenn settled in the Rav (the power chair fits in the back now!) and didn't double check that everything was loaded. Anyway, we cooked some up for supper, and it passed with flying colours. It will be nice to have on hand for those quick meals we all need to rustle up once in a while.
We have a busy few weeks planned, Glenn goes to see the speech path on Monday, and Botox is scheduled for March 14. We'll probably go back to the doctor sometime in there too, so it should keep us out of trouble. I hope the highways clear up soon, but March can be miserable.
'Til next time,
Louise
