Preparations continued. Gramma, Bill, Bailey and I attacked the house with vigor this morning. Steaming floors, cleaning windows and blinds, vacuuming dog hair, dusting everything. Less than 24 hrs left now, and all I can think of is a quote from the movie Jaws, hidden in the background of a scene. A woman exclaims with a heavy whine “24hrs is like three weeks!!!!”

Gramma is happy to be back to smothering Trevor and can’t wait to smother Brendan with kisses too.

Gramma and Trevor went with me to the hospital to see Brendan. Every time I see him there, I keep thinking how much better off he will be at home.
He says “I get to go home tomorrow?!”

He shows Gramma how he plays with Calamari

Trevor says, “I just need to figure this thing out so I can help take care of my bro”

Trevor’s shopping trip was a good time. He had fun grabbing the bars on the cart with his toes like a little monkey.

You have to have a frozen coke at Sam’s Club

I am exhausted tonight, I didn’t even feel well enough to go out for my birthday with Bill. We stayed in and ate chocolate cake and ice cream and I am going to lie down and watch the rest of Jaws.

We’ll be going to the hospital early tomorrow to work on Brendan’s discharge. He has to be brought to the house via ambulance. It ought to make for an interesting day! Lots of pictures to come tomorrow, probably late!
