Today Bethany had a virtual appointment with her pulmonologist from the cystic fibrosis clinic. She also had to see the respiratory therapist, the nutritionist, pharmacist, physical therapist, and a social worker. It seems a little much sometimes, but it’s only every three months if she stays healthy so its ok. She is well and her FEV1 was great so we can go another three months. It was a long visit – about an hour and 45 minutes – so we were both glad when it was over.
When she was finished we decided to just spend some time together reading and to make it a little more special I went out and got a lot of snacks – strawberries, cheese and crackers, kettle corn, grapes, muffins, etc. We got everything ready and we all sat down to enjoy our newest book Adventure Awaits. I have to say we all really like this book and we read for quite a long time. Even Sarah is listening and she does not listen to a lot of the books anymore. After we read, the girls talked about which character they liked best and why and we had such a nice afternoon. As we talked about the book and why we liked it Tess told me she really liked it because it was homey. I kind of feel the same way. This is the first time I have read this and I am so glad I found it. The girls have already asked me to get the one that comes after this one and it is in my Amazon cart right now.
After all the reading the girls played badminton for a long time. Bella sat on the swing much of the afternoon. That girl loves to swing. There are days she swings for two or more hours. If I ever wonder where Bella is – the first place I look is on the swing and she is usually there.
Abigail came by with Shep around 9:00 this morning to visit not realizing Bethany had a 9:15 appointment. She actually waited and waited, but I think around 10:30 she left. I was a little sad as I wanted to see Shep, but I was surprised she waited as long as she did. The picture I am posting is actually from Saturday as I didn’t even have time to get a picture today – just too rushed and busy.
