We’ve been active the last couple of days. On Thursday, we attended our friend Mary’s retirement party at the library. It was very bittersweet. Mary and her husband Charles have been wonderful friends, and Mary has been an important mentor to Lynne. They also adored Caitlin. We will greatly miss them.
The party went well and Caitlin became quick friends with their granddaughter, Maggie. They had a fun time playing in the stacks together.
Yesterday was also active. We traveled out to Naperville to have an enjoyable lunch with our new friends Eric and Chats. We only found out today that they had taken time out of their anniversary celebration day to have lunch with us. That was super sweet of them. They are both extremely cool people, and we’re happy that we’re getting to know them better.
Since we were in Naperville, we took Caitlin to do some kid’s things. We went to an amazing adapted playground at the Riverwalk. Caitlin was able to swing and use a special slide that was a series of rollers like the ramps used for box distribution. Caitlin was laughing and giddy. I really hope that one day we will get a playground that nice in DeKalb.
We followed that up be taking her to the DuPage Children’s Museum. She played with lights, water, and a 100,000 other over-stimulating things. We had a fine time.
Last night was a laid-back time with our temporarily spouseless friends Jennifer and Steve. We sat at the Borders cafe and played board and card games.
Otherwise, Caitlin’s epilepsy has been under better control. Two of the last four days were even seizure free.
