The last time we were at the river, I wasn't even sure that we would be back for the rest of the summer, but here we are!
We had a picnic at the river on Friday evening, and then went for a nice little ride on Sunday evening. All that means is that Makena Faith is almost fully recovered!! She got in and out of the boat with no problem, and had no pain! I kept reminding her not to bend or twist and she kept giving me "that" look (the sassy side I mentioned in my previous post). I am so glad that she is better though. I would say that her biggest issue now is when she first sits down and not being able to sleep now that she is off all pain meds. It doesn't help that Carlie gets up for school around 5 a.m. and let me tell you, she is NOT quiet (they share a room). She wants to move out into the camper but we don't plan on that happening any time soon!!
Here are a few pictures of our weekend river adventures.
Trey went out and helped Carl at the farm on Saturday afternoon and these are the pictures he sent me:
Today was Grammy's 84th birthday. I don't know if I've really talked about it on here, but earlier in the summer she was diagnosed with dementia. It seems like it is progressing fast but I don't even know what is normal with that disease or if there is a "normal". She goes back to the doctor in September. It is so hard to see her like this. She doesn't remember what she told you 10 minutes ago a lot of the time. I am thankful to still have her. She has always been a big part of my life as well as my kids lives. Some days are harder than others because some days are worse for her than others. I pray that some day there will be a cure for this! I sure miss the old Grammy.
Happy Birthday, Grammy! We love you!

She was sure not to get in the water because her 30 days wasn't up until Sunday!
