Best Laid Plans
The thing about having a plan is that sometimes one little mistake can turn the whole thing on its head. Yes, that is exactly what happened today. Drake had two appointments in Dallas at Scottish Rite. Mimi met us along the way for our usual transfer of kids. Once she intercepted Kennedy and Hayes, we drove on to the hospital with Drake. Everything was going smoothly. Technology is amazing...most of the time; however, today it didn't help us at all. My new car has the push button start and the key just has to be in or near the driver. I keep my key in the diaper bag b/c that's something that is always with me. You can probably see where this is going...the diaper bag left the car with Hayes when Mimi picked him up. My car allowed me to continue driving without the key in the vehicle; however, once we reached our destination, we were stranded. Thank goodness that Mimi came to our rescue! I think it's time to start carrying a purse again.
On a brighter note, Drake's appointment with the orthopedist went well. At these appointments they monitor his right knee, hips and spine. We are aware that eventually surgery will be necessary to correct some issues, but for now monitoring is all that is needed. Drake's lungs were very junky today and he required tons of suctioning. While I'm thankful this is not his norm, it made for a much more challenging day trip.
We're hoping this junkiness is allergy related and doesn't develop into anything more. We have been enjoying the beautiful spring like weather and spending as much time outside as possible...which could definitely be a contributing factor. This constant yo-yo weather is hard on everyone, and especially challenging for kiddos like our Drake. It's a catch 22 though because it is also very good for him to get outside. This weather was perfect for walking and playing at our neighborhood park this weekend with Harper! I loved watching the girls play together! That is something we need to do more often.
Our next Dallas appointment will be to Drake's neurologist. I've definitely learned from this mistake & won't be getting us stranded again...hopefully!
Loving the outdoors!
Tummy Time! This little rock star rolled over!!! The best part is that he did it in the evening when daddy was home to witness this milestone with us!
Park fun...isn't it supposed to be winter?!
Pushing the swing for Harper!
The boys enjoying the Merry-go-round.
Pretending to paint Drake's nails. He's such a good sport!

Sorry you had the problem with the key. But it is another valuable lesson to us. With all the things we pack it's always hard to make sure we keep things in the right place.The kids are looking great and are so cute.Have a blessed day.
ReplyDeleteThank you! Hopefully that is a valuable lesson learned, and I won't make that mistake again :)
