Yesterday we surprised that baby girl and picked her up from school. She had NO idea we were going to do ti because at the moment neither did we. We went to town so that Hubby could see the guys at work. I guess he wanted to show them that he was not only alive but that he really did have crap hanging out of his chest. That he wasn’t faking and that it was real….

When we were finished with a few things. Well we have a half hour till the girley is at the bus stop OR we could go get her now. Hubby’s eyes lit up…. I feel like going shopping… lets go get her. So I called them so that they wouldn’t put her on the bus… we ran in and got her. We were only a block away from the school…..

Her reaction was SO COOL….One of the other kids saw me and said hey Girley its your MOMMIE…. she RAN dead RAN at me jumped and screamed Yeah its my mommie… than I whispered in her ear, Daddy is in the car and he wants to take you shopping….. “DADDYS UP!” Yup and he wants to spend that time with YOU.”

When we got out to the car. She opened Daddies door and gave him a huge hug…. than jumped in the back and the adventure began. We drove to a nearby city and when we got there we went to the BIG store…t he nani, Pawpaw store. That made her scream with excitement. We went in and got the batteries we needed for the watches… ran back to the garden center to get a new pot for one of our plants and she got to pick out seeds. 25 min….. that is all it took…. the man was WORE out. So we went to a place were he could sit to get up some strength for the walk to the car. Than home. Slept for an hour… than he was up and planting the plants. With help from his mommie that had showed up and from his daughter that was so eager to share with all that she had time with DADDY. We picked out the rocks for the bottom of the pot for daddy and he washed the ones he wanted and than he put them in the pot. The we mixed the dirt and pored it in. Daddy was great telling us exactly how much to put in of the different stuff…. he has the GREEN thumb not me.

Daddy and the girl had a very special day. And Daddy …. is getting some MUCH Needed LONG awaited sleep… he has done well …. and the girl was so happy to have her daddy be up and moving JUST for HER!

The kids just make me smile. They are all so worried about daddy. #1 well his school is showing it. We were getting so far with him and he is doing so much better. But this is a major set back for us. We are reading this wonderful book that has been helping so much in teaching our RAD child how to love. He actually smiles for real now. I am almost to were he can start to play with other kids. I am so happy about how far he has come. But this is a set back. His world is starting to jiggle around him and he is to new to being loved unconditionally to understand how to work through it. Not sure that any of that made since. But he needs a lot of prayers as well. Please keep him there.

Now last night was his OT/PT session…. * G* LOL it was GREAT… he did well and while he was in Yoga I sat in the Baby PT room. Next thing I know I heard….

“MOM…. is that YOU?”

*stretching…. realize sit up fast.* “Ummmmm yeah it is…..”

“Were you Sleeping?”

“Yup I guess I was …. didn’t even know I was asleep until you woke me up.”

We giggled all the way to the pharmacy…. than he asks

“Mom can I get a propel?” I have let him do it in the past when we are running to the store for something real quick. He has come so far that this was great…..

“No.” I said simply with ice cream in my eyes….

“Okay mom……may I ask why?”

“No you may not.”

“Okay mom.”

Complete trust no. Didn’t ask again … we went into the store and he asked for sunglasses and I told him I didn’t have the money for it. I needed to get daddies meds… so we were did not have the money for the sunglasses……

Well now I put the cat out of the bag. I explained myself and I shouldn’t have I know…. for RAD that isn’t how it works. BUT ….. this boy of mine…. used his head… and …. came up with a wonderful solution.

“Since you are getting dads medicine… and you are not having a lot of money. Getting a propel and a pair of sunglasses is just to much for the budget. How about I work and raise some money for them… than you and dad wont have to worry about it?”

“That is a great idea. What kind of a job can you get this young?”

“I think that I will talk to Grandma about her yard. I know that she needs it mowed.”

How did I get so lucky….? He is just so brilliant. 9 years old and he is going to work for those sunglasses and for that propel. I am so darned proud of him for working all that out in his head. Now talking to her is still his job. I will not do it for him. He has a restitution that he has to pay first. Debts and bills always come first. so….. that will be a lesson for tomorrow. * G* today I think he has done wonderful

 In more than one way…..

Hubby kept such a wonderful outlook on everything. He had everyone in stitches. Some not sure what to think….nurse practitioner comes in to talk to hubby to make sure that he understands all that is going to happen. For the first time I let him hear it. WHEW was that a brick on the head for him. So to handle the stress you are gonna love this……

Hubby“so it is a sterile room?”

NP “ Yes it is … they will be covering you with a big blue blanket like thing and covering your face…..”

Hubby interrupts her here….” So will I ruin the sterility if I fart?”

NP” Ummmmm……. (DIES WITH LAUGHTER) No I don’t think it will but I bet they will all die laughing.”

Hubby “ I think I can make that happen.”

Me” Honey you should rip a BIG ONE while you are in there just to hear them laugh.”

Hubby” I think I will.”

News carries fast in a hospital like this one. The nurses have those little phones with them you know. So they were all warned but not enough…. He was messing with any one he could. I think he found an awful lot of pleasure in making them wonder about him……

I will share more of the stories latter. Need to wake up them babies. There is more on the hubby page. MUAH to you all thank you for your prayers. Just don’t stop yet….
