Day 404 - July 24 - Frisco Report
The trip to San Francisco went very well, much better than we could have hoped. Connor and his buddies got to the door of the club after we dropped them off, and after announcing that they were on the guest list were given the complete royal VIP treatment - numerous club employees helping him into the club and to a reserved, roped off section of the floor right next to the stage. The employees were so extremely helpful and solicitous that Connor couldn't stop talking about it on the way home. So a big public "thank you" to the staff and management of Slim's on 11th Street in SF - we greatly appreciate your service to our son.
The concert was great, according to those family members qualified to judge such things, and Connor had a blast seeing his friends again. Cherié and I had dinner with a friend downtown, then dozed for a bit in the van before picking the boys back up and heading home at quarter to one.
All things having a price, I rolled into bed at 0217 AM, and back out to head for work at 0500. But while I got the shortest sleep of the family that night, Cherié and Connor didn't get to sleep until 0300, and had numerous interruptions all night as well. So even though they got to sleep longer in the morning than I did, we're all still trying to recover.
I guess that's part of the lethargy we're all feeling this week. We had to go to the hospital yesterday for Connor's trach change and some x-rays of his shoulders and chest, and that was a long and arduous process which we're glad to have behind us. We have to go to the doctor's on Tuesday for Connor's next visit with her, and I'm dreading it a bit - we haven't had as much success with the breathing practice as I had hoped, and I'm sure we'll get the look - that raised-eyebrow glare they toss out when they think you ought to be doing something different. Yippee - looking forward to it.
So that about sums up this week. Hopefully we'll have something better to report sometime soon.
Love y'all,
E.

It's great that Connor had such a good time! Having to use a scooter most of the time, it's nice to know that there are places that are so helpful to us.
I will be praying that things go well on Tuesday!
I'm glad that you all had such a great time -- yep, the price you pay the next day is the hard part and it's never as easy after 40! I am entitled to speak w/ experience in that regard :) since my b-day is next week...
I pray that all will go well w/ the dr. appt. I am hoping you don't get "that look" -- I think you guys are doing a great job especially when I consider that you are doing it on your own...or at least, I am assuming so.
I hope that you can sometime soon get more help so that you can have time to catch up with sleep and your own lives.
Love in Christ,
Awesome pictures!! (Great band, I'm envious, I want to see them in concert! ;]) So glad the concert trip was a blast and such a success. Praying like always. <3
