the day has come to an end...

well our day has finally come to an end...its 845pm now...i got jon to his doctors appt...we were about 30 minutes late due to traffic..but i called and told them were STILL coming - please dont charge us a no show fee!! YIKES!! we decided that jon was doing great with just ONE methadone a day vs going up to 2 methadones...so thats our plan..he will take a 1/2 pill in the morning and a 1/2 pill at nite...we will also be doing his dilaudid every 6 hrs instead of every 4 hours to see if we can get him completely off dilaudid- this makes us VERY happy...although we just traded one heavy addictive narcotic for another...hmmm..well anyway - its a few less pills a day i guess!!!
we came home and ate our dinner..the caretaker had left at 4pm and the other one didnt arrive till 8pm..so i fed jon and then got him into his bed with my dad's help..my dad put our shower and toilet back in!! YA!!!! my bathroom again!!! the tile still needs to be grouted on the flooring - but hey were close now!! i believe marc pendleton is going to head up getting the rest of the house put back together, gettting the carpet layed, getting the wood flooring into the kitchen, staining the french doors, putting up the baseboards and 3/4 rounds, and painting the walls back to their color...we'll be gone for 9 days on june 24th till july 2nd..so he's hopefull all that work will get done that week while were gone anyway..
at 8pm after i got jon into bed i went up and bathed/showered the 4 girls..then we had family prayer, and then they did their 30 minutes of reading time before bed..

well i feel like i got a lot done today! i ordered lavender ties for all the guys for mark/jennifers wedding - sandra they should get to your house by friday! i called medical and they DIDNT need my social security cards, they have proof already that they are legite, im getting a copy of our life insurance info tomorrow in the mail so on thursday i can go into medical and hand in all the paperwork they needed to get that started..WHEW, i contacted the wheelchair company-but just an answering machine, i contacted a few things about some medical bills and got that ironed out, i got a few more paperwork things done dealing with jons care, so all in all..a successful day..

time to go make sure girls are in bed for the nite-- thanks so much for everyones prayers!! please continue to pray for more movement for jon, pray that this new concoction of meds will work for him so he can function, pray that this acidophilos will work for jons bowels and they will function properly, pray that we all get enough rest to function thru the busy day, pray that we find a routine so that i can be back with the family more and we function like we use to, oh and dont forget about the ants! pray they go away!!!
