All day Dad has talked about making rice pudding! I got to the hospital early afternoon and heard about it until I left around dinner time!
He asked if we had the recipe. Then he asked about eggs, sugar, milk. He asked what kind of milk we have...and proceeded to tell us that we needed to get Vitamin D milk and not use the stuff we have on hand. He told us how long and at what temp. it needs to be and to make sure we stir it! Before Mom left, she was told that Kevin is going to take care of delivering it, so make sure he gets it.
Ask him anything about cooking and he will give you an answer! Ask him how old I am and he says "31"...people I'm NOT 31!!
Praise God Dad did not complain about a headache AT ALL today!!! He is given Tylenol pretty much on a regular basis...but he didn't need any additional pain medication!!! YEAH!!!
Last night Dad did take out his trach. His nurse came and found him with it on his forehead! Joe, the nurse, asked him "what happened here?" Dad said "My granddaughter did it!" Silly boy, he's blaming the trach coming out on his four year old granddaughter! I'm telling you, my dad is really funny these days!
Kevin, Brandy and kids got home safely; but it definitely took longer than anticipated. I guess that's what happens with a newborn:(
I will be heading out this weekend to a different part of Ohio for a wedding, so you will get some different authors soon. Pray that I have a safe trip back and forth; and that Dad won't miss me too much! He asks for me:) and every night this week after I said "be here tomorrow, dad"...he said "You better be"
You can also pray for Dad as he is beginning more intense physical therapy. Today they had him in a wheel chair for two hours; but failed to stimulate him in any fashion...but I won't go there. Just pray that his bum won't hurt so bad and that he will be better stimulated tomorrow and the coming days.
Until we meet again...I will be dreaming of rice pudding...

I hope he said to serve it warm, with a dash of nutmeg. Our hearts are warmed by the thoughts of love from and for your family.

I'm sure a lot of us can still taste Steve's rice pudding from the drama meal. DELICIOUS If Steve really believes you are 31 Kimberly, you may want to have him tested for cognative issues. His (if he has any loss) is certainly much milder than B's loss, but if he does have a loss it't worth it to have the therapy. The test is not hard to take as a base line to know where he stands right now. It doesn't predict his future but will point out problems that you may not have noticed. We found that our therapists were wonderful so it's exciting to know Steve will begin getting his strength back. OXOX linda
