Monday...

My Dad has almost been in the hospital a week. The doctors did a second CT scan and it showed that the blood clot/bleed in his brain is receeding. Last night was his first good night since being in the hospital. All other nights he either missed a pain med or he did something silly like sneeze and it would take him most of the day to get his pain level back to a 7 out of 10.
If things continue to progress he will be discharged from the hospital in Sudbury on Wednesday.
He will be at home for a few months recovering. He isn't allowed to drive for atleast a month. He is fortunate that another man was around to see it happen and call for medical help right away. My dad delivers to grocery stores at night and where his accident happened was in a dark parkinglot and nobody would have found him until morning.
So please continue to pray for him and the long road of recovery that he has ahead of him.

J's eating has been SO much better this past week. I guess he realised that I am just going to keep giving him stuff. He still won't eat a vegetable that is cut up in little chunks and put in front of him, but I did discover that he will eat baby food vegetables from a jar. I keep hiding puree veggies in his yogurt and applesauce. But I'd like him to get to the point where he will pick up a vegetable and eat it. I'd like to not always have to hide them. Tonight at supper he willingly ate some corn. I fed some frozen kernals to him first and then he ate some cooked ones. His fruit is expanding as well. He will now eat kiwi, mango & plum. Hopefully he realises that I am just going to keep serving him so he might aswell give them a try and learn to love them :)
CO on the other hand has had a bit of a rougher week. I think having my dad in the hospital, us camping out at my mom's during the day due to the bathroom renovated and no longer being an only child is all part of it. I've been SO busy with camp plans, trying to stay on top of messes and looking after J that a lot of our routine has just gone out the window. We seem to be in survive mode these days rather that thrive mode...so I am going to try to put J on a more solid schedule and have him go down for his morning nap around 10:30 and then CO and I can do some special stuff together until lunch and CO will then have his nap around 1:00. If I am lucky they will overlap thier naps by an hour so I can have some peace, but then J wakes up and we are able to do some stuff together until CO gets up.

well I need to go...my blessing, CO, is requiring my attention and a neighbour is on his way over to see if he can put up the sunshade on the front deck.
