We headed for dinner and then to visit Mom at the hospital. Mom looks great and was adamant she will be discharging ASAP. Period. And Mom owns McKeesport as Lisa, my sister-in-law, says so she got her way.
Hotel and swimming... bed and up to visit with the Boyds who drove down from Erie to visit!
We visited Mom at the hospital first thing in the am. She was dressed and standing over the nurse at the nurse station asking yet again when her doctor would be coming in to discharge her. Mom humored me by letting me lecture her with my very best discharge planner lecture but in the end she and we knew she was going home no matter what her doctor planned on telling her during rounds.
The Boyds joined us at the Carnegie Museum of Natural History. It was great to see Scott and the kids again. Such a nice family. Natalie and Tori are about the same age, as well as Aaron and Nicholas. Leah thinks she is around my age and is so mature for her young years. I whole-heartedly enjoy her company. After spending the good part of the day with us Eric headed back to Glassport where he made Mom a yummy dinner much to her joy. Scott and I had the kids in the pool when Eric and I switched out. I went to be with Mom until she was tucked in to her bed, happy to be home. The boys (Eric and Scott) kept me and the kids up way to late (LOL!).
The morning (Father's Day!!!) came too soon but we jumped in to the pool anyway, ate a leisurely breakfast at the hotel, had a pillow fight, and grabbed lunch before the Boyds headed back up to Erie to spend Father's Day with grandpa.
We were at Mom's home after lunch were I took a nap (:-)) and awoke to Buff, Mary, Matt, Michael, and Stephen playing with E, N, & T. They brought their cool bean bag toss (VERY high speed Pitt sports team themed!). I think I was the only one who tossed the poor bean bag over the neighbors fence. But Matt was my hero.
Buff and Mary made us all dinner, awesome! We enjoyed the down-time with family. Mom was so happy to have family milling about and relaxing in her home.
We headed back to Buff and Mary's where we spent the night and met Cloe, the newest addition to the family!
So now it's morning. Nicholas is still sleeping, Tori is playing with the cats and dog while watching TV, and Eric is visiting with Mom again before we head out to the zoo with Mary and the kids. I love to see the kids spending time with family!!! We miss that connection. The Pater's are good to let us interrupt normalcy when we breeze through town.
