MRI, Doctor, Cookies, Bicycles and other random things

April 3-6, 2019

We came back to Port Charlotte to get Josiah an MRI of his shoulder and a Dr. visit to read the MRI. He did fine in the MRI machine…no claustrophobia.

Diagnosis: Small labrum tear. No ninja for now. Surgery a possibility in the future. Dr. says it probably won’t heal itself. He was okay with us continuing the trip and dealing with the shoulder later.

Donald has been retired for a year now. He met a goal of not setting an alarm clock for a year. He’s enjoying having time to smell flowers and watch butterflies.

 

While we were at Suzie’s parent’s house for a couple of days, the big boys helped do some attic cleaning. One (who shall remain nameless) created a bit of new work as well.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Found some neat old stuff in the attic too.

Donald and the kids got some bike riding in. They saw some neat things while riding around the neighborhood.

Nannie taught Kyrah, Audrah and Jed how to make rice pudding!

 

SweeTea came for a visit.

Along with her sister Sydney and Suzie’s cousin Carol who takes such great care of these two dogs (Paul, her husband, does too).

 

Carol came over to bring us a paper that had photos of SweeTea in a parade a couple of weeks ago. She was a shark. (0:

 

The three big boys took Nannie out to the movies to see Captain Marvel. They went to the late showing.

Hanging out with cousins, watching Centennial and eating cookies.

 

Scaring cousins too
