Waco and Improved Lizzy

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

On Friday, Grandmom left to go home.  In the late afternoon, Evan and Noah went out with Grandma and Papa.  They went to the synagogue for a service.  They were actually able to bring their own food so they picked up Subway.

Friday night, they stayed at Grandma and Papa's and then all four drove to Waco.  In Waco, they went to the Waco Mammoth National Monument where 16 Columbian mammoths were found.  From there, they went to the Dr. Pepper Museum.  Evan said the Dr. Pepper he got there was the "best ever".  Then they walked over to Magnolia Silos and played in the field and got shaved ice.

Today, they had brunch at the hotel and then went to the Waco Zoo.

Rachel and I stayed home.  We went out for dinner both days.  Yesterday, we walked around Lady Bird Lake and stopped at Cafe Ruckus for a lite lunch.  This morning, we took Lizzy for a very short walk.  Then we went on a walk, followed by lunch at Wholy Bagel.  On our way home, we stopped at Costco.

For dinner, we went out to Cuba 512 for dinner with Grandma and Papa.

Lizzy has improved each day.  Last night, she was able to walk upstairs on her own for the first time.  Today, she not only walked up the stairs, but she came downstairs too.  She has been going out in the backyard on her own.  Also yesterday, she barked for the first time (and only time) since this all started when she wanted to come in.  Rachel gave her a bath today and I had to help get her up from the bath.  She also didn't completely shake so she was wetter than normal.  It caused her to shiver, so we covered her in warm towels to keep warm her up.  She's not 100%, and I'm not sure she'll ever get back to be 100%, but she's not in pain, and she seems happy to be home and with us, her boys, and her cats.  The cats have been really good with her.  Calvin will go over and lick her.

The boys are in bed now.

Until next time...
