Kind of an up and down day. Started off being awakened by my dogs, who were telling me "Dad's locked himself out!" Good dogs... Glen was in the garage, and the door to the house was locked. Then followed a conversation about him driving himself to church. It's a little frustrating.. he had the realization himself that he was unable to drive... but now he's forgotten that. Reinforces the need to keep the keys out of sight, and basically, need to keep somebody with him.

Then I had a little difference of opinion with our choir director. I've always felt he kind of brushed me off when I explained that Glen was sick. Today, in the middle of Mass, he was trying to rush Glen through some rather complicated harmony he somehow thought Glen was going to be able to do. Sent him an e-mail with some appropriate reading material. Grrrr. He responded with an apology, and the comment that he had no idea how far Glen's illness had progressed. Well gee, fella, you only see him EVERY WEEK. [alright. taking deep breath now]

So, ok, fast forward to this afternoon. Kev & Rushi were here, we were doing chores (including Glen). Then Kevin remembered there was a Loony Toons marathon on Cartoon Network!! So... lonnnnng break from cleaning. Time spent as a family watching cartoons and LAUGHING!! It was obvious Rushi hadn't seen a lot of them, which made it even more fun, and it was apparent that slapstick humor still has huge appeal for Glen! We even skipped some of the football in order to watch cartoons. Great fun.

And so ends our week off of doctor appointments. Physical therapy tomorrow, Dr North on Friday, as well as attempt number 3 with the BiPAP breathing apparatus. They say third time's the charm, so keep your fingers crossed!
