April Update

  It's been awhile since I've posted.  Justin's situation is hard to write about, but I know there are people who want to know what's going on with Justin, my son.  In truth, he is getting sicker and weaker.  For awhile,he made great progress, talking, eating, and getting back into his power wheelchair.   Then he started getting weaker.  His left lung became covered with secretions, and he needed surgery to scrape things out. Then a CT scan revealed more new spine fractures (total of 7).  After that, he just hasn't been able to get over the hump.  This week, Justin decided to discontinue the weaning from the ventilator.  He is on full breath support and can no longer use the voice valve to talk without dangerous oxygen drops.  Pain medication has been significantly increased to help him deal with the pain.

The Dreaded Double Line

As I previously mentioned, Julia tested positive for Covid six days ago.  I've taken two tests since then, and both were negative.  My summer cold-like symptoms have been increasing all week.  Today, I tested positive. 

 

C is the control line.  A double line is a positive test.  We are both double vaxed and boosted.  Hopefully, the cold-like symptoms resolve soon.  I'm grateful that it's summer and we can spend some time in the yard, while we recuperate. Yesterday, Julia harvested cherries from our sour cherry tree and today baked a pie. 

 


 

I'll do a second harvest in a couple of days for freezing.  Every time I pass the cherry tree, I grab a couple of cherries for immediate eating.  The birds will get the remainder.

Taste and smell have remained intact.  Fresh roasted coffee still smells and tastes as it should.
