Summer

Gosh, I haven't posted in this blog for a while. Hopefully everyone isn't loosing interest. We've just had such an awesome summer after a couple of years of "not so great ones". We truly tried to remain busy and enjoy ourselves as much as possible. We went to movies, bowling, shopping, lunch dates, museum, a water park, and Knotts Berry Farm. Monet also had many play dates with her friends. It's been really great to relax, get some sleep, and enjoy ourselves. (Although I haven't managed to get hardly any exercise time in, so it is time to get back into the routine. I still have a long way to go.)

It was made possible with the fact that Billy Boy has been sleeping nights, smiling, and even laughing again. The down side to that is I haven't been standing him up. When we stand him up, he is in so much pain, that he doesn't sleep all night (and either do I.) I will have to address that on Thursday at his next Drs appointment with the Rehabilitation Specialist. Is it really worth the pain we put him in, especially now that his hip is dislocated? I think his quality of life is important, and he has already suffered enough. I can't bare to think of going through that again. We have also managed to get him off a bunch of medicines that he didn't really need.

The weather this summer has been beautiful!!! I couldn't ask for nicer weather. This has been the coolest summer we have had since I moved to Riverside 10 years ago. I can't believe I've lived here 10 years already!!
