We started the day with a breakfast with Mom, Dad, my brother Jim, his wife Shirley and the 4 of us at Oregon Dairy. The breakfast was good, talk was loud and fun, many conversations flowed around the table. We left for home and a few hours rest, with Adele going to bed to try and sleep. I think the morning was too much for her.
She tried to sleep for a few hours and then came downstairs to join us. Around noon, Pete & Cathy (Eric's mom & dad) and Eric's brother Scott and Amanda (his fiance) all came to visit with Ruby. Again, talk flowed around the room while people were taking pictures. Again, this was very tiring to Adele. We had a great lunch around 1:30, with Pete cooking most of it. Eye of round, sliced thin and covered in gravy, stacked on good Italian rolls with horseradish and cheese. Paula Dean's orange brownies, some tomato pie (like pizza without the cheese), chips and soda.
After they left, Adele went back to bed to rest and was not successful in sleeping, again. Around 7:30 or so, we tried to get Ruby ready for bed, and then the fun started. Ruby cried, and cried, and screamed. We tried gum numbing solution, gas drops, Tylenol drops and much walking around with her and holding her tight. She did not want us to sit down, just walk and keep her moving. Scary feeling, not knowing what was the problem. She tried to take a bottle, just did not want it after a few gulps.
Finally she quieted enough that Julie was successful in getting her to bed. 9 pm, I think, it was all a blur. We stared at TV for awhile, with Julie, then Adele going to bed. Of course, here I am an hour later, blogging.
Julie & Ruby are flying out tomorrow morning. I added more pictures to the picasaweb page.
Peaceful night to all - Rick
