Marcy's Daily Updates

Marcy needed even more suctioning yesterday. She only asked for Oxycodones with her bedtime medicines last night (7.)

Kara was here yesterday. As I was giving Marcy mid day medicines, we watched Kara on TV. She was on the local TV show “Better Nashville” which aired yesterday at 1p (and was shot Thursday morning.) Click here to see Kara perform. Kara looks less scary when she is here. Though we’ve never seen her perform, we’ve seen her all dressed up when she had to go straight from our house to a performance. After watching the TV segment, Marcy said she looked “delicious.”

Again Marcy didn’t feel up to going out. I washed Marcy’s hair and Kara styled it while I rode to CVS to pick up prescriptions for Marcy. I came home and walked the dogs then took all the consignment tools and leftovers from the garage and master bedroom to the basement.

Darcy came straight home from school, ate with us, then baby sat for neighbors last night.

Matt worked from 3-9p, came home to eat, then had friends over to play video games in our basement.

Today’s Bearing: Matthew 18: 1-5; Application: Humbling.

Marcy was about the same yesterday – still needing lots of suctioning. She only asked for Oxycodones with her bedtime medicines last night (6.)

Kara was here yesterday. Marcy asked for her sling night before last. She had planned on asking Kara to style her hair then Marcy and I would go to Darcy’s track meet yesterday. Marcy didn’t make it to any track meets last year and the one yesterday was pretty close to our house.

But Marcy didn’t really feel up to it and it was misting rain when the decision needed to be made, so she stayed in. I ran errands: dropped off recycles, Whole Foods for supplements for Marcy, and Lowe’s for spray hardwood floor cleaner.

I then went to Darcy’s track meet. Darcy had told me she was scheduled for the 200 meter race. I didn’t see Darcy, but saw on the schedule of events that the 200m was the next to last event. I went to Wal-Mart and picked up a few things then came back to the meet. They changed Darcy’s event to the 400m, which was more in the middle of the list of events, but she still hadn’t run by the time I got back. I only had 1/2 an hour before I had to leave to let Kara go home on time. Darcy and I watched the meet together and she told me what was going on. She didn’t get to run while I was there.

Even though the sun was trying to come out, it would have been pretty miserable for Marcy to have been outside waiting on Darcy to run for 3 hours. Marcy asked for her sling again last night, so I guess she plans on going out today.

Darcy made it home about 7p and said she finished 3rd in a field of 6 and was pretty happy with that.

Matt worked from 3-9p, came home to eat, did homework until midnight, then went to Michael’s house.

Wednesday morning Marcy approved my column for this week, Saying Thanks, scheduled to publish today.

Marcy needed more suctioning yesterday and the day before. We didn’t go to sleep until 3a and her ventilator woke me at 5:45a this morning – she needed cough assist. Still, she had a peace about her yesterday and though we didn’t do anything but talk yesterday, she blinked “fun day” last night. She only asked for Oxycodones with her bedtime medicines last night (6.)

Marcy napped a little yesterday while I did Matt’s taxes and filed his FAFSA application.

Darcy stayed after school for track practice yesterday and was home in time for supper.

Matt worked from 3-9:30p, came home to eat, then had friends over to play video games in our basement. I think at least one of them spent the night down there.

Marcy was in a talkative mood yesterday. She only asked for Oxycodones with her bedtime medicines last night (6.)

Kara was here yesterday, allowing me to go with Darcy (out of school for a teacher planning day) to pick up stationery for her resume/portfolio for her targeted employers in creative fields and to pick up job applications from Ben & Jerry’s, the new frozen yogurt store in downtown Franklin, and Dippin’ Dots.

We got home about 3p. I planned on doing our taxes, but Marcy wanted to talk. Kara felt bad and left about 3:30.

After our outing, Darcy walked to the park to take pictures and was home for supper.

Late yesterday afternoon our friend Garland came by to pray for Marcy.

Marcy was very, very tired again yesterday – “drained” is how she described it. I put the sling under her Saturday night to take her to a movie yesterday as she requested Friday night, but she just wasn’t strong enough. We talked from about noon-3p when she asked for 3 Oxycodones and slept the rest of the afternoon. She asked for 6 Oxycodones with her bedtime medicines last night.

Darcy went to ClearView church with her friend Sarah yesterday. After church she took down her birthday decorations in the basement while I disassembled the photo booth. She then worked on a resume for a part time job.

Our friends Kelvin and Gertrude brought groceries from the ClearView Empty Nesters class and visited for a few minutes, but Marcy was too sleepy to really be part of the conversation.

Matt worked from 11a-9p yesterday then came home and stayed in last night.

Marcy slept soundly until 6p yesterday then was awake for supper and a little TV. She only asked for Oxycodones with her bedtime medicines last night (6.)

While Marcy slept, I cleaned up the house, then prepped and printed Home Keeper refrigerator cards. If you don’t get yours this week, please let me know.

Darcy went to The Factory to take pictures, then to Scott’s house to hang out. She was home for dinner, then rode with Scott to Amy’s house and was home about 9:45p.

Marcy may have felt a little better yesterday. She told me last night she wants to go out tomorrow. She only asked for Oxycodones yesterday with her bedtime medicines last night when she asked for 7.

Kara was here yesterday and was with Marcy while I took a 3 hour vacation to enjoy the beautiful weather. I had lunch with my friend Steve, went to Wal-Mart for a few perishables, to CVS for prescriptions for Marcy, then rode with Garland down to Arrington Vineyards to look around, then Eagleville to see the glider airfield – but no one was flying. I made it home in time to let Kara go home a little early.

Darcy enjoyed her new license yesterday by giving her friend Brooke a ride home from school and hanging out at her house all afternoon. She was home for supper then went to another friend’s birthday party at the theater to see “Alice in Wonderland.” She was home by 9:30p.

No word from Matt in Murfreesboro.

I paid bills, balanced the checkbook, and cleaned up around the house. Darcy stayed after school for track.

Marcy seemed uncomfortable all day yesterday and it was very difficult to see when she was blinking. She was in extreme pain last night about 9 and asked for Morphine. She asked for 6 Oxycodones with her bedtime medicines last night.

Kara was here yesterday. Even though I could tell she didn’t feel up to it, Marcy wanted her hair washed, so I washed Marcy’s hair then Kara styled it. I went to the drug store to get Marcy’s Fentanyl patches. They had the prescription since last Friday, I had to get special papers from Dr. Reid, and I had to wait 45 minutes while I was there, but we finally were approved for the amount of Fentanyl that Dr. Reid prescribed.

Darcy went to track practice after school.
