Good experience for our kids!!

We did something today as a family that the kids want to continue, we had to run to the grocery store and we were by the Beehive House, which is where Jaren goes while I work, the people were so excited to see him and to meet his kids. RaKelle played the piano for them and they really liked that they kept telling her to keep playing, after we left we talked about some things and decided that they would like to go there once a week during the summer and do crafts or play games with them and sing with them. I think that everyone will enjoy it and then the kids will know that dad is taken care of when he is there and they don't have to worry about anything while he is there. Thank you to the Beehive Home for allowing him to go there and enjoy conversation with people instead of sitting in front of the TV all day.  It was fun to see the people interact with him and tell the kids how much they enjoy him being there.  It made him feel really good.  One of the men their even went into the kitchen and got the kids some fruit snacks. 


We met a new Neurologist and she ordered blood work and MRI, the blood work came back really good and one of the medications they have him on for mood is low so if they need to they can up the dose a little and still be ok with numbers.  MRI results came back and she said that the brain is stable it hasn't changed since his last MRI in 2007, which is a very good thing (I think), but the MRI does not show mental decline, so they do what they call a mini mental exam that consists of asking questions and having him do things and that score was 18/30 I thought it was an ok score because his last score was 11, well come to find out it is not a good score anything below 28/30 is not a good score, he improved from the last mini mental exam, he must have had a good day that day, he has a hard time with more than one command at a time. 

It seems like things never end though, I feel like I can't keep up with everything, bills, Jaren, keeping the house cleaned, homework, Jaren, laundry, dishes, soccer practice, games, Jaren, dr appts, SLEEP, work, oh and did I mention Jaren? he keeps me on my toes I really do not understand some of the things that he does he doesn't even know why he does some of the things he does, like make eggs in a glass bowl on my stove, good thing I happen to be home at that time, that would have been a huge mess to clean up.
