Yesterday Chris went to work!! Chris had only signed up for 3 weeks of short term disability so either he had to go to work or take vacation which he did not want to do. He wants to save it all for the activities he has planned this summer (scout camp, Disney World). I cried a lot yesterday I was very worried about the whole thing. I called Dr. Ott and he called Chris. He told Chris that he needed to stay on schedule taking his medicine, checking his insulin and stay sitting up. Chris’ friends took him to lunch yesterday they made the sacrifice to go to KFC so that Chris could try eating some mashed potatoes (they stayed down :) He came home around 5:30pm. He was verrrryyy tired. Yesterday morning Chris had promised to get Katie a treat from the gas station if she hugged him. He kept his promise to her and brought her a treat but he also brought us each one (what do think mine was? he, he-Dr. Pepper of course). He’s so sweet. We “the nurses” set Chris up on the couch with his feeding tube, pillows, blanket and medicine. We read scriptures with Chris downstairs and then for Family Home Evening we went up to the boy’s bedroom and played Apples to Apples had a lesson and then I took the boys and we went swimming at the pool. Katie fell asleep and Megan took care of both Chris and Katie while we were gone. Friday I took Megan, Ryan and Jacob to the podiatrist (foot doctor :) Cousin Mike where are you when we need you?) Megan was having problems with her big toe. The doctor removed her toe nail so now she is in a lot of pain. Yesterday she had an aerobics class at school and instead of participating because her foot hurt she had to write a two page paper. She was not happy she would have much rather done aerobics she enjoys that class. Jacob and Ryan were lucky enough to have warts on the bottom of their feet. We have to put medicine on each night and cover them with band-aids. Megan has to soak her toe in Epsom salt and take medicine for about a week then we will start putting Lamisil on her toe. Good times :) Love, Ricki
