Uncle Karl Needs Beer!

This morning we had a phone call from Auntie Jane, we called Nanny Lee, spoke to Nanny Sophie on MSN and had a call from Daddy – what a lovely start to the day & all before 9am! Daddy had just finished his lunchtime shift, when I asked him how many pints he’d had, he replied – None??? However, I’m far to clever for that, so I asked him how many bottles he’d had – that was a different answer – as if I’m stupid!!!

Today Libby’s rash was much better, her feet were still quite swollen and she was reluctant to weight bear for me but as we had physio, I didn’t feel the need to push her. Physio was with Beth and once again Libby worked very hard, you could see she was in pain and she needed to rest quite a lot in between exercises but I could see she was capable of a lot more than I think she is!! Again, we left there feeling very positive, although it’s still hard to imagine that we will get the results that Dr Parks has said we will – I don’t doubt him for one moment but to allow myself to think that she could walk by herself is something I will believe when I see.

Ben couldn’t get into the Sibling playroom today as it was full and boy did he need it, he did manage to help Libby in her therapy but he found it very hard to ‘behave’ today and even the threat that he wouldn’t get a star didn’t manage to stop him – Uncle Karl was driven to beer!

We took Uncle Karl to see the St Louis Arch in the afternoon but the weather was unbearable, they say an index of 115°.

For all you SDR Dad’s that visited ‘Hooters’ - Ben & Uncle Karl had a nice time too!!

For all you that want to see OB Clarks – the photo is above – I personally can’t see what the attraction was!!

Dave sent me a text later today, bragging how he’d got some Brownie points as he’d remembered to record ‘Mistresses’ for me – I reminded him how lost them already as he’d been ‘economical’ with the truth earlier, to which he replied ‘imaginative’! -  Happy 14^th Engagement Dave and thanks for the pressie! xx
