Camp Ronald McDonald for Goodtimes

Monet had a fantastic time at camp! She talked about it for days, what a terrific experience for her. She did faint the first day, but it was due to not eating or drinking all day (because she was nervous.) The rest of the time, she had a blast. She made new friends and memories she will always cherish. I had a harder time here, but thanks to some awesome counselors and friends of ours, they kept me posted on daily activities that take place. Since I can't be out of town for more than day trips, I'm happy she has a place where she can go on vacation. She is now looking forward to winter camp.

Camp & Nursing


Monet finished Vacation Bible School and had a great time! We dropped her off yesterday at Camp Ronald McDonald for Goodtimes. I miss her already, but I know she is having the time of her life. Swimming, horseback riding, hot air ballon, archery, fishing, firecamp skits... and new friends.

My nurse Dorcas' last day was yesterday. The nursing agency sent me the nurse they wanted, we'll see how that works out. One of the problems is that Billy Boy is 5'5" and 130lbs., the nurse is 4'10". He is big and hard to move, so far I've been here to help, but I want to make sure she can do things on her own. Also, she has never done nasal suctioning, which is what he gets. The agency has lied to me several times and that really bothers me. I may keep this nurse while I hunt for a new agency.

Summer has been great so far. The temperature has remained fairly cool. I can't wait for Monet to get back so we can do more things!
