ON THE LIST

Yesterday we met with the nurse lung coordinator and Lee signed all the necessary papers.  They called us again @ 4:30 verifying that he is on the national registry for a lung. Amazing how that changes your daily agenda.  For example this morning ( after a relatively good nights sleep for both of us) I find myself making sure everything is in order.  All the clothes are neatly placed so they may be retrieved easily, cleaned out that foreboding refrigerator that was looking scarier and scarier.  My disposal really had a work-out this a.m. The apartment is more orderly, however when I look at self I find that I am not ready at all! Much to do there!

I don't think I told you that Lee walked 2000 feet yesterday.  He now wants to walk in his tennis shoes because he says " I am the only one at the Center for Living wearing crocs!"  So, he now has his tennis shoes here, thanks to Dennis & Betsy who just returned from our beach house. 

Today is our grandson, Jeffrey's  wedding day. It is sad that we cannot be a part of this important day with the family.  It is good that our children and our grandchildren realize the importance of Lee's situation right now and to them and to their understanding we are grateful.  The mother of the groom, Jennifer said that getting "on the list" was the absolute best wedding gift to her son and his new bride Priscilla.  So.....today at 4:00 we will try to get on SCYPE and visualize some of this wonderful day.

Thanks to all of you who are following the Blog....I always feel as though I have had a visit with each of you when I write and share our days and important events with you.  Keep the comments coming too.....Lee especially enjoys hearing your thoughts and seeing your encouragement in words.  We make hard copies of them all and plan to keep them  for later.      More later............................................Brenda

  4. Good morning and HAPPY FATHER's DAY!!! I've been working this morning to put together the wedding pictures and video so that I can get them to you. Like Jennifer said, getting on the list was like a gift on the wedding table with a great big bow on it! Tennis Shoes, huh? Nana is going to need some roller skates to keep up with you!!!
