Ramona Mae

Today is Ramona’s 9th Monthiversary! Jane and I were remembering today that there was a time when we didn’t know if Ramona would get to see green grass or feel a warm afternoon breeze on her face. Well, she has. And as we approach her 12th Monthiversary, we’re thankful. (more…)

Andy was away for 4 days touring with Mucca Pazza, a circus punk marching band he plays with (this is a photo of one of their New York gigs!). I was expecting to be exhausted by his absence but arranged for so much help while he was away that I ended up getting more sleep than I’ve had in months and re-organizing the pantry. Go figure. Andy did not fare quite so well. He slept in a sleeping bag and stayed up till the wee hours each night. But he had a great time and I’m so pleased that he was able to get away for a few days to do something he loves.

Ramona saw the cardiologist today for her first post-op appointment. They discontinued her lasix, did an EKG and an echo.

I’m not in a posting mood lately. Everything’s fine. Ramona had her first speech therapy appointment last week and it went very, very well. The therapist just gave her this space age looking spoon and voila, the rice cereal just slid right down her gullet. Who knew.
