Andrew, Stephanie, Lily, Sophie & Charlotte – Birthday dinner

Mary Lou – Sat with Rose while I took Dr. Vesper to see Dr. Wilson

COMMENTS:

We had a very busy day today. I stopped on my way in to pick up a few last minute items for a special birthday dinner for Stephanie tonight.  As soon as I arrived, I got Dr. Vesper up and to the table for breakfast and morning meds. While he was having breakfast, I got Rose up and dressed for breakfast. She ate and had her morning meds. Dr. Vesper seemed to be in slow motion this morning, it was impossible to rush him. After breakfast he went back to bed while I thought he was getting ready for his shower.  Somehow we made it to Dr. Wilson’s office on time, he gave him a very thorough physical, spent a full hour with him. Dr. Wilson was very pleased with his A1 C (5.7) He is scheduled back in 2 months for blood work and flu shot. Mary Lou stayed with Rose while we were gone. She was nice enough to set the table and a few other pre-dinner items, which was very helpful since we didn’t get back home until almost 5p. Andrew arrived at 6p, he started the steaks on the grill while I got everything else prepared. We had a wonderful meal, followed by cards and gifts. Andrew and the girls loaded the dishwasher while I put away leftovers and helped with cleanup. After everyone left Dr. Vesper and Rose had their p.m. meds and prepared for bed.
