Dear Family,
Rash Review - Mom’s viral infection has continued causing pain and itching, but with medication it has been kept within tolerable levels. Friday morning, Dad took her to see the ophthalmologist (Dr. Everett) - Good news - it has not spread into the eye. However, no one is predicting how long the symptoms will persist. She has been able to get some much needed rest and catch up on her reading. She has been diligent in her efforts to keep in-phone contact with her sisters, and this week ,was instrumental in getting Amelita some much needed medical attention. Go “Good Deed Doer” Mom!
Husbandry - Dad has been taking care of Mom by devising a method for her to get the right medications at the right time; preparing and serving wholesome home cooked meals, washing clothes and helping her to worry less and relax more. Between rain showers, Dad has been working in the yard clearing away a plethora of dead branches that had been thrown into (and were clogging) the brook, cutting branches from a dead tree, trimming bushes. Planting of flowers and vegetables are behind schedule, but hopefully that will be done soon. On the bright side, all the rain has made Michigan once again so green and beautiful, the pond turned into a lovely, full-sized lake, and (we are very grateful) none of us has had any flood damage. Dry basements are good basements!
Grandma’s Matters Organized - Dad took Grandma to pick up her new Lincoln MKZ and to order a new cell phone with Bluetooth so it could be programmed into her new car. Michael took her to the Verizon store to get the new phone activated. Dad took her to get the phone programmed into the car, shopping to look for patio furniture, to get file folders and planner. Also, he helped her reject a ridiculous quote for sealing her basement. Friday night he took her to Ryan & Maureen’s to attend a Memorial Weekend family party, where she got to show everyone her new MKZ. Go Grandma!
Soccer - All the local soccer games were cancelled due unplayable fields from the excessive rain. However, Michael & Dad and the Sidhu’s watched the Manchester United vs. Barcelona game for the European Championship in London’s Wembley Stadium. It was sad for the local crowd to see Manchester United lose, but it was amazing to see high caliber soccer players play a great game in our new, crisp-clear HDTV. Go Technology!
Graduation - Mom, Dad and Grandma are planning to attend David’s graduation from Dental School next Saturday. Hopefully, Mom will be well enough to go. The final decision will be depending on the status of Mom’s viral infection. Go David - we are all so proud of you and your accomplishments!
Love y’all, Mom & Dad
