Ruby Tuesday

So today was another busy day. We had physical and occupational therapies today at Dominican Rehab Center and it was an 11 am appointment, so we had to get things rolling early. Jerry, like any 19 year-old, doesn't do mornings. It started out with a little nausea as usual, but as the day progressed, Jerry felt better. He did a variety of exercises and stretches during his PT time, they did a standing table type of thing for his legs, and then had him sit down and lay back(with help of coarse) to see if they could get some abs working. After that Katie and Jerry had an hour to have lunch, and back at 1 pm for his first OT session. Since it was his first appointment for OT, there was the papers to fill out, and then they went through a stretching routine, to kind of see what we have been doing, and to evaluate what his limits are, and then they were done.

Katie then took the new van over to get it smogged, and since since she was down in Santa Cruz, figured she would go by the DMV after. Well it passed, happy day, and off they went to the DMV. CLOSED, BUMMER. Best Buy instead I guess. Still had a half hour to kill before the big SLV/APTOS showdown in softball, and looking at TV's seemed like a good thing to do. Didn't buy anything (thank you Lord) but Jerry's pressing hard for a 50" lcd. Someday maybe.

Katie and Jerry showed up about the bottom of the 1st, and were in good spirits. Even Jerry. He usually gets kinda bored during softball games, but he wanted to see his sister play and knew this was the game to see. The game was a good one with SLV coming back in the 7 TH inning to win the game 8-6. Whoo-hoo. That was a big one, and it was exciting too. It was even warm out, go figure. The girls did good. Well it's off to SCI-FIT tomorrow so we better rest up. Thank you all for sharing our day with us, it was truly a gem of a day.

Good night and God Bless.

Hi Jerry and all the rest of you -

Life's been kind of crazy recently (we've been sick, etc.) so I haven't checked in on your blog for a week or so. The best news I think is the improvement in nausea the last day or two. Thank God! I'll pray that continues.

Oh, and it was good to see the green van. Now I'll know what to wave at driving through the valley!

The other thing that struck me is how incredibly busy you guys are!You impress me.

Congrats to Jessie on some good games.

Have a good week with low to no nausea!

Love, Nancy

SCI-FIT on Wednesdays! Cool!

Hey Jer,
I am so happy you had a really good day yesterday. Nausea down to almost nothing and actually enjoying your little sis's softball game. (A win against Aptos in priceless. Go Cougars!
Maybe those anitbiotics are actually working in more ways than one?)
The kittens are sweet, how about naming them Okie and Dokie, Oscar and Meyer, Hansel and Gretel, Brad and Angie oh the list goes on and on. Perhaps we should have a naming contest Jer? By the way are they boys or girls or both?
Anyway, sending peace and love your way.
Happy April Fools Day,
Gretchen

it sounds like each day is getting better, or if not each day, perhaps week to week.

keep up the good work.
