Whirlwind couple of days. Yesterday we went to church, came home, L went for his visit and as soon as he came back we left for Tampa to visit Kim. She looks a 100% better, can make a fist, can not quite release the fist, but what great progress !!!!
We visited, actually went to the patio area and sat and chatted, went over some financial stuff, hugged, shed some tears, laughed...........what a relief to see her so much better !
On the way home we dropped papa off at his truck, he had to squeeze one last load in, responsible til the last minute ! While L was on his visit, we had already packed some of his clothes and a suitcase full of clothes and shoes to give away.
He slept in the truck, this morning drove over to Venice, where the truck is going to stay parked at a neighbor's job site, while Papa is gone, this neighbor is going to do some work on his truck. After L's OT/PT, I drove over to pick Papa up, L slept the whole way, he was tired of working so hard at therapy !
We finished packing, ate lunch, I ran to Wal-mart for last minute stuff, and as the day went on I fekt more and more anxious. It has been a long time since Papa has been gone this long. The kids don't even remember...................we'll be fine. Just absolutely hate saying goodbye !!!
We decided Oscar and Alex were going to take Papa to the airport and after that swing by Kim to visit. So all the kids gave their kisses, we showed them a calendar where we will cross off the days. All kids got a musical toothbrush (it plays music while you brush for 2 minutes) trying to keep it all light................
Sofia refused to come outside to see him of. Lili would not go of my hand and kept saying that she felt really sad. Max stopped playing and said, I really don't like papa to go that long, I want him to stay here. Sebastian has not said a whole lot yet. Lili keeps walking around and has big shiny eyes, tears will probably start soon, the poor thing.
I'm good now.............it's the goodbye thing. I tucked a card in his carry-on...........................................hopefully time will go fast.
I have to focus on the rest of the week, holy cow, macaroni&cheese (as Sebastian likes to say)
Tomorrow morning, EEG Sebastian, labwork afterwards, blood and stool. After we'll fly over to the Coalition where L will have a supervised visit, then we'll fly home where an Early Steps therapist will meet us for therapy for L. ( when oh when will they start selling diet cokes with optional extra shots of caffeine !! )
Wednesday, specialist appointment for L, about 1 hr drive away. Half day school for the kids ( I can smell a movie afternoon coming !)Licensing coming for quarterly visit ( so the house has to look halfway presentable LOL )
Thursday, Guardian ad litem, caseworker are coming early afternoon. Originally I planned to pick up kids from school and start driving to Orlando to go pick up Oma. Oscar offered yesterday to go with Alex, which starts to make more and more sense.
I thought about just taking 2 (besides L) but then I feel bad for the other ones, driving with all 5.....................mmmmmmmmmmm, maybe it would be better for Oscar to go, and I'll wait for Oma here, with a glass of wine and some good rice !
I feel bad, but I shouldn't feel bad, I know that mom will understand.
