Kids are great

Well, not much has happened since my last post. I had a friend cut my hair to fix the mess a hairdresser did last month. It looks really good. Lucas had a nurse from the VNA stop by on Tuesday and she said that his tube looks good, its alittle red, but aslong as I turn and clean it, it will be fine. She also checked his weight and he has gained a couple ounces. Then we had a nutritionist come by and she started to tell me that his weight and height didn't match, and she wanted me to increase his calories and feedings about 10 ounces. Then he woke up and she saw him and changed her mind. She now only wants me to increase his intake by 2 ounces. ( I had a feeling she was wrong, and kept saying something!) I've decided that these visits should be interesting! Dylan is getting very good at what I like to call "air fishing" he sits on the front stairs or the back of the truck and casts his fishing poll into the air and "catches fish". He can almost make it to the street from my driveway side casting. He has decided that he loves fishing and has joined a football team that put him on the blue team. I still haven't figured out how to get him on a football team this year, but I'll find a way to make it happen.... On a sadder note, I attended a wake for Ryan last night, it was so sad. Ryan's brother Colby was funny though. He was sitting in a chair with a friend, turns to him and says "you see that silver jar, that's my brother in there, can you believe it!" Desma said that he is still shocked that Ryan is "in the jar" the celebration of life is today, I like how that's stated, I don't think there should be funerals anymore, those are to sad and the occasion is sad enough. Having a celebration of life makes it OK to laugh, and think about happy moments instead of just how sad the occasion is. I remember Ryan and Dylan used to play with the cats together at Bethany's house, they would sit on the floor and tease the cats for hours, and when they were done, they'd move onto Cooper the dog. He will be missed, but never forgotten. His life will live on through everyone's memories.
