swimming

We attended a wedding, then while Jessica and I worked at Irish Fest, Namine went swimming with her grandpa.

We had two picnics to attend today: one for the Herma Heart Center, and the other for the Variety Club.

Tonight was the second time ever that Namine has swam with water wings by herself.

This morning Namine got autographs from several Disney characters.

While we were in Indiana for Jessica’s cousin’s wedding, we got a chance to go swimming in our hotel’s pool.

I’m glad we got to play in the pool today, because I think the weather will not allow it again.

It’s always hard to get back into the swing of the daily routine after a vacation, even a small one like a 3-day weekend. (Of course, the nature of Namine’s condition and medication needs still require a semblance of routine, even on vacation. But it was still nice to relax and to be able to do things at our own pace.) Especially when you have to get up early the next morning for an early clinic visit. But this one is well worth the lost sleep: a trach/vent clinic, but not just any – today we start down the road for Namine’s decannulation.
