...to be anxious today.
DD woke me around 8AM. We had a relaxed breakfast and went to visit DH at the hospital. He was completely dressed in the clean clothes that I'd brought yesterday and seemed a lot more chipper. He is really looking forward to coming home tomorrow, so I am so hoping that works out.
The treatment is helping and he took two walks with us without the wheelchair, but kept touching one wall in the hallway and seemed to be concentrating, so I don't think the equilibrium problem is completely solved. I think he also overdid it on the second walk and refused to admit it.
DD was almost hyper and got a bit bored. She was sooo happy to see her Daddy, but this is getting to her. She was role playing with her dolls last night, being the doctor who was going to make them feel better and she asked repeatedly for reassurance "The doctors making Daddy better?" She seemed pretty happy when we said good-bye and gave DH a big hug. Then as we were driving out of the parking ramp, she broke down and started crying that she wanted him. She quieted down pretty quickly, but it's really hard. Later during the drive, she asked about him again and told me "Daddy's my best friend."
I'm a bit ticked at BIL. It's probably fortunate that I'm just too wiped out to get too upset about it. He called the house last night because DH had left him a message, so I told him to call DH on the cell at the hospital. (after explaining that DH was being treated for another serious MS flare-up)Today, I asked DH if BIL called and he turned glum and frustrated, said BIL called and gave him a "serious big brother" talk about how DH should be working, doing better on our finances and laid on a guilt trip about visiting FIL more. (I didn't say what I was thinking. Good grief!)Can the man really be that clueless? I am hoping it was simply his misguided idea of a pep talk.
Just got DD to bed. I have homework (untouched so far this weekend) that I should at least look at tonight.
MIL is coming to our house for Thanksgiving, so I am looking forward to that and especially, of course, getting DH home.
Hope you are having a goodnight.
Tired, but smiling,
Dee

I'm glad to hear your dh will be coming home soon. Your BIL sounds like a knucklehead.
I hope you get some time to just be with your family next week. I would say relax, but I know how that goes. LOL Anyway I hope you enjoy your time together.
Dee, thank-you soooo much for the update!

There's an old saying, maybe from the Bible about separating the wheat from the chaff. The good from the bad. I guess that's what you need to do, Dee. Your bil isn't the good stuff right now. Sorry): It seems the world is full of thoughtless people.
Sending P&PT's that dh gets home. Keep in touch. (((hugs))) jan
