Luk had a couple more cow photos.
We still haven't heard if, when or how they were rescued. They belong to our neighbor behind us. He had them a fair distance from home.
It was sibling appreciation day at Children's again. Lucky us. We stayed and played after Luk's clinic.
Ellie.
She is soooo mild mannered. So sweet. Always the best part.
We've met a few of the therapy dogs now.
The boys had shopping bags and went table to table taking what they wanted. Kai only takes what he genuinely likes. Luk had to be pushed to take anything. He grabbed me a sticker and pen. A mini teddy, bubbles and a fidget for Jia. Candy for himself. He wouldn't grab anything until I explained that the program won't continue if they don't hand out the things. We then looked at some of the other kids who were really enjoying the shopping experience and he then gracefully tolerated the rest of the experience.
So many appointments, plus an ultrasound. We skipped occupational therapist and orthotics today.
Luk did great. All is going well for him this time. No major changes.
The social worker team was really pushing transitions to adult care. Eric and I sent the boys out and talked to the team in charge today. Explaining that it's hard to talk about Luk in front of him. That we don't see the kind of ability, growth and maturity they seem to be expecting. Like....we are NO where near reaching the goals on their lists. They are going to take our concerns to the board and request better testing on his learning challenges and executive functioning.
Kai likes traveling, he likes road trips, the ferry, hotels and he loves eating out.. He didn't care for four hours of sitting and waiting with constant talking about Luk. Haha.
Our hotel night was great, there was a better than usual breakfast provided. Such a beautiful day. Such a shame to be stuck in a city.
We had time to kill before checking into the hotel so we hit Tswassen Mills. We played in Cabelos, wandered the whole mall, let the boys pick out snacks for the hotel and explored the duck museum. I know ya'll will be shocked by this but I did NOT buy any ducks.
Eric looked out and laughed. Nothing like a gorgeous sunset over Costco.
Lili caught Esmei outside yesterday!
Zoom in on her eyes, she looks petrified.
The trip went well. All good for all of us. The ferry was great there and back. The drive home from the Victoria route was hard. Two hours and forty minutes!! We definitely didn't save any time.
1/8th of a tank there, 5/8th to get back.
I was online at 7 this morning to get a site for Eric's 60th Birthday and I hit reserve exactly 1 second after 7, I got two sites in the cart and still didn't get one. I think we need something more exciting than camping to celebrate. I did suggest today a standby cruise to Alaska, he likes that idea. There is an inside passage leaving on his bday and the rate is $99 a day. We like the gamble part. If we don't get picked, we would be left with no plan in place. It's so hard to plan anything when we just have no idea what is next for me health wise.
