Thanksgiving Holiday

I give thanks.

My family was together for the holiday.  Our youngest came home from the residential facility for the weekend.  He was home from Wednesday to Sunday, and I am very proud to say that no major issues occurred.  It was a great weekend.  There were a few times when he wanted something his way, and we were able to handle it without a meltdown.  I think the only "major" issue was when he was caught playing with a screwdriver around an outlet.  He has been known to strip all of the outlet covers from a room.

There was a brief moment where he was sneaking around, but I think that was a test of his boundaries.  All in all it was a good weekend.

On a side note, my health has been kind of strange.  I lost my appetite last Wednesday and it just never really recovered.  It has been declining for a couple of weeks. I eat because I don't want to worry my family.  So tomorrow will put in a call to my doctor and see what she thinks.  But since I am scheduled to see her in two weeks, she may want to run labs now and then wait.

That is all for now faithful readers.  Hope you all had a great weekend.

A Home Visit

M is coming home for a four day visit next week.  We are so excited.  We will have staffing at the residential facility where he lives, and then participate in family therapy.  After that, we will be bringing him home with us.  Then Sunday, we have to take him back.  We will be planning to bring him home for Thanksgiving weekend.

On Tuesday next week, I will be meeting with my cardiologist.  Not sure what to expect there. Would be nice to know what is causing these heart events.  Maybe he will be able to shed some light on it for me.
