Dillon and I spent a good part of the afternoon doing errands, getting groceries, giving a fellow Brent's Place mom a ride to the bank and to grab some dinner for her kiddos. We had been home long enough to get the groceries put away and Dillon was getting the table cleared so he could open a new board game he just got. The phone rings and Dillon answers......I am watching him to see if I should go to the phone or go about my business. He gets a funny look on his face and says, "When... (pause).......what time? Let me ask my mom!!" My curiosity is way high now because I don't even know who he is talking to. Dillon says...."hey mom, wanna go to a Nuggets game tonight at 7? Rachel from downstairs has extra tickets!!!" Mind you the current time was 5:45.
My rational mommy brain is screaming on the inside.....no freakin way....we have been running around all day, you need meds, you need food, it is snowing, there will be rush hour traffic, it is downtown, we will be up too late...blah bah blah blah..... And then out of my mouth pops..."Heck yeah!!!" So we grab water and snacks for the drive, we grab our full snow garb, we grab the med box so D can take pills in the car both coming and going, we rush downstairs to grab the tickets, and off we go.
We are not Nuggets fans and we are not fans of the team they played (Indiana Pacers ) but seeing NBA caliber basketball was super fun. Gearing up for the Celtics sans Rajon Rando (the Pickle's favorite player) who just blew his knee out and won't be playing the rest of the season....darn it!!! Dillon was SOOOO looking forward to seeing him in person.
Clinic is Wednesday this week. They will be checking vitamin D again, in addition to a slew of other labs, as well beginning to taper another med....yahoo!!! Coming in the home stretch. The belly continues to progress!
Good job Shari, right answer, that must have felt so fun for Dillon to just change everything and go off script. Like real life. Getting back to real life, that is the goal, score. How is the weight gain going and the strength, sounds like he is slowly making a come back. Maybe he can write Rondo a letter and wish him well and tell him his situation and encourage him to work hard so Dillon can see him play some other time. I am so glad you guys got this experience. cheers.
ReplyDeleteWhen it's too long since you posted it always causes me to be concerned. What did the labs say this week and is he healthy? Marilyn
