Last Sunday

Though we're having unseasonably cooler weather, these are heat-loving geraniums. Today was our daughter's last Sunday in rehab, her 90 day stay ends on August 11th. There has been an adjustment in her after-rehab plans as they don't have an apartment available for her and her 13-year old son. So, he will continue to stay with us until one is available and she will live in a communal setting but will be able to have him spend weekends with her.

I think one of the biggest miracles of her sobriety is seeing how her boys now relate to her. The 17-year old that once told her he didn't want to see her and in fact might hate her was today sitting with his arms around her laughing and sharing jokes. The 13-year old who will eventually be living with her, now seems more confident that she will stay sober. And we will be glad to relinquish the job (and privilege) of rearing both young men. It's now our turn.

Husband has to drink his first container of Berry Smoothie this evening and can't have anything to eat or drink after 9:00pm. Another container of Berry Smoothie tomorrow morning and then off to the lab for the CT scan. I'm not sure how long it will be before we get the results.
