Straightening out the elbow...

Good news on the elbow front for Betty, it appears.

She's avoided surgery for the moment, although it may have to be done down the road. It was better this morning after resting overnight, and the surgeon is willing to let it heal some on its own before cutting.

So she will be here for next week's festivities.

In other news, my sister Lee moved in at Bellarmine this morning for her first year of college. I hope everything turns out to be a piece of cake for her.

Counting the days...

Doctor's appointment again tomorrow afternoon. We're hoping we get the news we want and Eliza will be here soon.

Janie's BP has been weirdly lower the past two days, though, so we're not sure what that means. It was 120/70 all day yesterday, and it's 130/90 today. Fasting blood sugar has been down both days too.

To try and speed the process along, Janie took down an entire container of fresh pineapple with supper tonight. Nothing yet. We're open to other suggestions. I thought about tapping on Janie's chest like a bottle of ketchup, but I'm told that doesn't work.
