Spring is half here as we have temps in the 70's and up to 80 today. However, yesterday we had a hail storm and flash flooding in some areas. Our patio was covered with small hail yesterday morning but not the big golf ball size. We are due for another storm later today and severe weather tomorrow, which may include that dirty word "tornado" coming back. We have had some nice warm weather so far as I was able to get Larry out on the patio. I can't wait to get out to the Botanical Gardens, a park or the zoo.

Larry is tolerating his feeding tube very well. He has gone to a high fiber formula and he is digesting it and having no issues with diahrrea or loose stools. That is big. The main problem I had with the feeding tube is the docs do not know certain meds are not to be put in the feeding tubes. No enteric coated ones or no time released capsules should be put in. I had to change meds several times as these doctors just do not "get it". He is having trouble sleeping and I have put him on a sleeping med which works most of the time. The problem is his sleep apnea and snoring. That is something we struggled with before. Please do not tell me he neeDS to go on the Cpap Mask as we have done trial and errors many times in the past. He just could not get use to it. I think things will improve once I get rid of the blasted hospital bed.

My son has been staying with us as his apartment rent went up again and he could not afford it. He also was laid off from his job, so he is staying here for the time being and has been helping me. It has been an adjustment for both of us. lol I really don't know what I would have done without him in the beginning when Larry came home. It was overwhelming just learning the feeding formula and meds.

HAPPY SPRING,
