Hi everyone:This doesn't hold the same excitement value as a call for a new heart, or winning a lottery, or a White Sox repeat in the World Series, to be sure, but...
Patty has felt well for two days in a row!
For the first half of yesterday, Patty relaxed in bed while I worked at my desk in our bedroom. Mid-afternoon, we briefly toured the Oakbrook Shopping Center before joining Aunt Sue for dinner at Costa's -- thanks, Sue. The conversation and the meal were wonderful. On our way home, we stopped for a brief traffic escape at Kevin and Sharon's in Oak Park. When we arrived home, we lit some candles and a fire, watched the penultimate episode for this season of Rescue Me, and chatted for a couple of hours about Patty, our kids, our years together, our extended families and our future. Through all of this, Patty felt pretty energetic and rarely sick.
As I write this, Sharon and Patty are chatting in our family room. Patty has felt very little nausea or headache today. In a couple of hours, the kids will be gone for the weekend (Six Flags tomorrow, if the weather cooperates), so we should be in for a mostly quiet, low-key weekend. Or, maybe, we'll get that call we've been waiting for...
Love,
Brian
Patty, Sharon & Connor today
