Cool Girls Wear Glasses
They finally arrived. Their second pairs come in this week so we are good to go. Katey is slowly getting used to having them on her face. Laurel is enjoying seeing the fall colors much more clearly. My Dad took these today:

Waiting for Glasses
Found out last week that K needs glasses, we suspected, doc confirmed. Now really frustrated that they've been stuck in Memphis for two days. Apparently the FDA feels the need to inspect her glasses since they were made in Canada by a company that makes contacts. I know she has lived this way for 6 years, but now that I know she can't see I am going crazy waiting to get these for her. Sad, but true. Lets not talk about the guilt I have for waiting several months to get her in for a screening. L also needs glasses (that one was a surprise) and hers arrived in Memphis ten minutes ago. Dare I hope they will make it through without inspection??
The funny thing is that the one kid in the family who wanted glasses has the best vision. Yeah, you all know who that was.

Just Call Me Amelia
Lately Katey has kept us laughing. We've missed several $10,000 moments by not having a camera pointed on her. Yesterday it was a visit to Goodwill. We found a backpack that was in great shape but had the name "Amelia" embroidered on it. It was a LL Bean bag and bigger than most packs we have so we showed it to Laurel anyway. She responded "I don't want a bag with some other name on it." I agreed, but knowing Katey's fondness for bags and carrying around her toys Tim called her over. We showed her the bag and she said "that's cute!" We showed her that it had someone else's name on it and she looked up at us and said: "I can have a new nickname. When I am wearing this backpack, you can call me Amelia." Too funny. We are still laughing.

Home safe
Tim and Laurel made it home at 2:30 am on Tuesday morning. They are trying to adjust to the time zone change and Laurel appears to be adjusting a little more smoothly than Tim :)!
We spent the day yesterday with Mary and took her to the hospital for IV fluids and some testing. She is stronger today. She sat up on her own and wanted to stay out in the living room instead of going to bed after lunch today.

On the last flight
They are currently flying the last leg of the trip from Chicago to Nashville. They will then take a shuttle to Murray State and my Dad will pick them up and bring them to the house. Papa and Nana didn't want the littlest one to have to get up early and not be able to get back to sleep. From talking to them earlier in the day I know they are worn out. I have PJs ready and expect them to fall into bed immediately upon arrival.
Tim's Mom ate less today than yesterday. I am continuing to hold out hope for the medication. Planning to try to connect with home health tomorrow.
