Mine and Scott's 10 year anniversary is coming up in May. Every 5 years we renew our wedding vows because we may not have 5 more years. Scott and I planned to renew them in Hawaii this year at Heavens Point but with everything that has happened lately I am not sure if I should continue planning. If we can't go to Hawaii maybe I should bring Hawaii here but, then I am afraid that I can't do everything by myself. I may need to ask for volunteers.

So Glad Christmas Is Over

Scott came home from Sea Pines December the 18th , just in time for Christmas. That in itself was a gift. Things have been slow but steady. They think he may have had a mild stroke. He is getting in home therapy three times a week. Things like walking take longer but, who is in a hurry. He needs to gain weight and we are working on that also.

Christmas Eve we had Skylar, Matt & Michelle over. Everyone seemed to be exhausted except for Skylar. We ate opened gifts and hung out. Matt had gifts to wrap and I still wasn't finished. My mom came over Christmas day and woke us up. I had a few more gifts to wrap. Yes I was up Christmas day wrapping presents. I jumped on line to Thank Blake for fighting there so Skylar could celebrate Christmas here. It was an easy quite Christmas no packing up to run anywhere, we ate when we wanted. I made steak, baked potato and corn on the cob on the grill. Scott thinks we should do that every year. Scott had an excellent elf this year and I loved everything I had gotten although, I don't think I was that good. Thanks to Keri who posted the PNP on her Facebook I had a really good time sending Santa messages to everyone but, Skylar's reaction was the cutest. I had Scott record the Hallmark Twas The Night Before Christmas for Skylar and the next day remembered we forgot to give it to her. I am still finding stocking stuffers ugh..

I am going to spend my New Year putting away Christmas things, going through drawers and closets. I feel so unorganized and I ate that feeling.

Great Weekend

I had a productive/lazy weekend. When Scott went to SeaPines I think my body has collapsed. I can't really find energy to do anything. Michelle called me Saturday to see if I wanted to see the movie Brothers. So I met her and Matt at the Oaks. It was good because it made me actually get up and get some things done before the movie. I decorated for Christmas, I am about 75percent done. We saw the Dr. & the Mrs. at the movies and after the movie we all had an early dinner at Pano Vinos and I order Scott his favorite Chicken dish and went to visit him. When I returned home Skylar called and wanted to spend the night so I drove back to Melbourne to pick her up.
Milo walked the bed all night, almost like he was protecting Skylar. We woke up early went to Dunkin Donuts for coffee and bagels. Skylar had Pappy coffee. That means she had a little coffee with her sugar. It was funny because as soon as she tasted it she did exactly what he does - this needs more sugar. Skylar and I then headed to Target and then to the mall to see Santa. After we saw Santa Skylar and I wanted lunch. So we hit Subway and then went to see Pappy. She was so adorable , her giggles filled the room , what a sweet sound. I then took her home and headed home to do things before I began my week. I don't know how our friend Keri does all she does - I wish I had her energy.

Scott's Residence & An Angel

Scott's temporary residence is Sea Pines room 221. I have sent the images to Dr. Nick and the reports. Sr. Nick BBM me and said the paper report reports everything as stable. He should receive the images today. I asked him if the Abilify he placed Scott on could have caused this problem - I have finally after all these years stumped Dr. Nick. He has no idea but is going to find out and let me know today. Scott seems to be in excellent spirits. I took Milo down for a quick visit yesterday and Milo laid under Scott's wheelchair as if he were protecting him. Hopefully Scott will be home for Christmas if not then we will celebrate when he comes home.

Kellie was at the post office yesterday to mail Blake's guitar and other gifts to Iraq. A kind man in line said he would like to pay for Blake's guitar to be shipped. Kellie hugged the man and thanked him and she said the man had a tear in his eye and he said he served our country and it was nice people were shipping gifts over. He said, for Kellie to thank Blake for him and his wife and for her to Have a Merry Christmas. As a mother of a soldier I needed to know who this man was. I asked Kellie ( I actually demanded it) to go back to the post office to find out who this man was but, the signature on the customs sheet could not be read. So I assume he was an angel.

Waiting......

Yesterday I left work twice. Once to go home and put Scott into bed because he wasn't feeling well and again to take him for a CT scan. I am going to the hospital today to pick up the CT scan that was taken on Thanksgiving day and over nighting both to Dr. Nick. I don't know where I have found the strength to actually pick Scott up. I had a anxiety attack last night but, manage to keep it away from Scott and under control. We here today if Scott will be admitted to Sea Pines ( I don't know why he wouldn't) I packed his bag last night just in case they come to get him. I feel bad for Milo that he will be in his cage for so long during the day. Keri offered to take our pictures for our Christmas card but, I have to play that by ear also. I hate the fact of sending out regular Christmas cards.
