Tomorrow’s the big day! I take Ethan to Topeka for his double scope and (hopefully) find out what is going on with his poor body. It is crazy to be this excited for a medical procedure, but it doesn’t change the way I feel. I desperately want my poor son to feel better and to be able to get out of bed and to walk down the hall without pain, to put on some weight, to have more good days than bad days. I don’t think that’s too much to ask!
While I’m anxiously awaiting tomorrow, Robert and I both check in with our moms as it is mother’s day. Just goes to show you that the world keeps on spinning no matter what else is going on in life. I made sure to send both our mothers a nice card and they received them on time so that was good. My mother is mostly blind due to macular degeneration and advanced diabetic complications. I helped her order an Amazon Echo so that she could have a computer connection verbally, but my dad one-upped me this weekend. He helped her to get a books for the blind machine that will read to her. (I tried to get her into Audible, but she didn’t feel like it was something she could work with. She’s a severe techno-phobe.) They sent her a machine that looks like an old-fashioned tape recorder and a disk for a mystery which she’s already listened to Dowloaded Braille). I’m glad she has something to “read” because books have always been an important part of our lives.
