What a weird way to start out a new year... but what perspective we have already on what is truly important and what can go by the wayside!!
We started out the day by watching church on skype. Brother Weiss has set us up with that for all 3 hours. What a blessing!
The Dixons stopped by on their way to Texas. They are moving there. Then we did the regular, ... take medicine, read, puzzle. Talk with doctors, nurses, watch espn. The usual. Then we started to get a flood of visitors. As long as they are healthy, Riley loves to see friends and loved ones. His friends stopped by with his favorite salt and vinegar chips. Ernest, Kyle, Kayla and Ethan (and Sarah on skype- she stayed home with a cough). Kyle's mom drove them over and was so wonderful to stay and let them hang out for a while.
Lillian Norris, principal of our school, came by. I always enjoy talking to her as she is full of positive things to say! I do feel such support from our community. Then Aunt Renee came by with Madie and Trent. They came bearing the gift of xbox! They are letting Riley use an extra xbox that they have, along with many games. Riley is so loved! Trent and Riley have many games lined up!! Awesome!! Then our friends the Tarkets came by. How lucky are we to be surrounded by such love and support! Riley then had his shower, room cleaned and more medicine. The usual nightly events. He is a little on the worn out side now and has decided to relax, watch a show and go to bed. He has decided to start watching "24" on netflicks. Vince and I were quite addicted to that show awhile back. That will keep him busy.
