What a wonderful relaxing weekend!Thursday:
I barely arrived early in the morning in the craziest storm San Diego has seen in, well I think, ever! We had a really scary flight and then Southwest canceled flights until the late afternoon. I was so grateful to get there safe and not be delayed to see the Snail!
The rainy weather makes for a sleepy Snail so we relaxed and talked pretty much all of Thursday. It was so nice to have some time together without a hospital in between us.
She looks amazing by the way! Her hair looks about like it did when she was a baby, little dandelion girl. It is coming in fast and it really light blonde and soft. I swear it grew when I was there! Her skin is recovering from the rash nicely considering how horrible it was. The rash is still there but much better and she has lots of new baby skin that seriously looks just like an infants. She is using lots of lotion and fell in love with Amlavi's body butter that I had brought with me. Good thing the Mile High girl brings Amlavi everywhere, even if it is a billion percent humidity!
Friday:
Infusion center appointment went great first thing in the morning. Her numbers looked wonderful and she did not need anything so as quick as a Snail can, we hurried out of there. Valerie has returned to her love of cooking and is taking on baking as well!
We spent a lot of our day baking and then resting. She is amazing at gluten free bread, muffins, cookies and the most amazing part is she is making them from scratch, converting regular recipes. If you have never baked gf you have no idea how hard that is but trust me, I just don't even attempt. She has always wanted to open a restaurant so I am hoping that this gives her a little push. She is making regular or "glutenous" recipes too so if you are in the area, give her a call. Yummy treats might have just come out of the oven!
Saturday:
I spent the morning running errands for her and luckily the rain finally stopped so I was not completely soaked. I got her some new baking pans and pretty soaps from Bath and Body Works, etc. Valerie's best friend Lara was in town to visit her and run a 1/2 marathon with Kristy (sure, me too) so Melissa, Kristy, Lara, Valerie and I had some good old fashion girl time. (Brent left the second he heard the numbers, 90210) It was so much fun to laugh and listen to music and have a "normal" afternoon.
Sunday:
Make a big breakfast for the Snail & Doodle- check
Finish the big sister to do list- check
