Therapy Day

Blogging friends, you are aware that Vicki and her family are home for medical visits and most probably therapy. While Timothy's first doctor's appointment is not until tomorrow, we felt therapy was needed today.

Early this morning Vicki and Lauren came over to find something appropriate for Vicki to wear to therapy. I left for the office to ensure all was well before leaving for the appointment. I KNEW this visit would be a long one. About an hour later Lauren and Vicki came by the office. We hopped in my car and off we went for our important day.

Driving 80 miles per hour or more, we soon made our first stop. There we exercised our arms with the weight of far more items than were allowed for the 3 of us in the dressing room. May I add we each got a number and entered the dressing area though ALLLLL the articles were for Vicki. After "Yes that is sooooo cute on you" or "No that just isn't you", she decided to sort thru the ones she liked and make her final purchase. I quickly scooped it all up and told her "Happy birthday". Lauren laughed and said, "Oh Mom now we can shop some more and you can buy some for yourself". Vicki had a gift card from Lauren to SteinMart , too.

After our first stop we decided it was time for lunch. We decided on LaMadeline and had a fun 'tea party'. Next stop was a great boutique in the Champions area, Scrupples. Vicki and I bought beautiful dressy jackets for Redonia and Lauren. Isn't that just like Moms? Next door was a children's shop. We HAD to go there since our youngest sister, Kristi, is about to deliver a little girl! Then we headed for SteinMart where Vicki found a few skirts, tops, and jackets.

I could tell by the end of the day that our Retail Therapy had exhausted Lauren. Isn't it amazing that the 18 year olds can't keep up with those of us who have the digit 4 in our age? Vicki and I felt energized and young after spending time shopping - mixing and matching.

Tomorrow Vicki will be able to begin the medical journey after a great day of therapy. She has so many new outfits that she will have a hard time deciding what to wear or what to wear with what. She came back to the States with basically nothing. We worked hard to find interchangable outfits. She can wake up feeling new for a couple of weeks. Of course if their stay gets long we will need another day of therapy or she'll be tired of all the earth tones.

Pray tomorrow's appointment goes well. Timothy is getting stronger. Hearing and balance are our two greatest concerns. Tomorrow's visit is with the the Pediatrician. Next week he has an appointment with the ENT. If all goes as scheduled Tremayne, Vicki and Timothy will go to church with Micah Sunday morning. Then Tremayne will be preaching for us Sunday night. I know our church family will be glad to see Timo.

Off to a Music Meeting...I don't play, sing, operate the sound, or run the projection system but our boss, Trent, thinks it is important that Kent and I appear. Oh the joys of role reversals.....
