Even though Rich was at Straub yesterday we spent some time with him. Two days prior we had pretty good hopes that he would be home for this wonderful holiday so we planned a 'good dinner'. Rich's tummy is still distended and yesterday he had a light fever. His white blood cell count was up so the doc ordered a ct. I was there when he started the ct scan 'bug juice'. The ct scan showed an inflammation in his colon. A chest x ray showed inflammation in his chest. He is getting new antibiotics to combat these. The hope is to be home today. It's early now 5:27 am to be precise and we shall see how this day plays out. Suz and I are going to look for the 'tallest' tree we can find in Mililani. Sam will come by with the pickup and bring tall tree home. Christmas trees sell out fast in Hawaii. You have several days to find one then it's artificial only. We have always had a real tree and we do want one up before Rich gets home. He LOVES Christmas trees, especially with ice cycles on them. Our trip to Vegas is Dec 12-17. We want to make this trip for sure! Vegas is so lovely this time of the year ...with the lights.
I want to add that this was Suzanna's first time to put a turkey in the oven, make from scratch oatmeal rolls, make a fresh cranberry salad, prepare the veggies for grilling, make the gravy and mashed potatoes. Andrew and Susanne did most of the clean up and made killer brownies for dessert......who are these people? It was awesome to witness. I am so GRATEFUL. Andrew and Susanne stopped on the way home to see Rich. He is so lonesome there. We go as frequently as we can but it is not enough. dang it. Kurt has been the faithful friend who daily visits for several hours. Lord, bless this man a hundred fold for his kindness to my husband.
