Glass Blowing Field Trip

Well it was a good and bad week. He painted on Monday and worked a small amount on a word search puzzle. On Tuesday he glued the pieces he painted together to make a collage. They turned out really nice. Wednesday he baked chocolate oatmeal cookies that were very good.

Thursday was a nice day and he went and got his hair cut and we ate lunch at a small local restaurant where the waitress fusses over him.

Thursday night was bad. He called and talked with his dear friend Harold and things were going well, and then suddenly when it was time for bed things got ugly. He somehow thought that instead of going on a field trip I was taking him to a nursing home. He wanted his shoes and his wallet and he was leaving. Rob had to talk to him for a good twenty minutes before he would go to bed. It was an ugly twenty minutes.

Friday morning we get up to head off to the glass blowing studio and again he is in bad shape. He tells me he can't go to the studio he needs to go to the emergency room. Well, I called Rob at work for support and Rob told me to take him to the field trip and if he didn't perk up to take him to the emergency room. Once we got to the studio he perked up and enjoyed the presentation.

After the presentation we went and had lunch at Denny's. That is one of his favorite places to eat. He got pancakes, and a chocolate milk shake. Yummmm. He ate and drank every bite. Now that we are home he seems to be fine. They told me at the doctor's office that patients will constantly think you are going to put them in a home because they recognize that things are not right. They can't put their finger on what the problem is, but they know there are problems.

Well, all I can say is that there are going to be good days and bad days. We had almost four good days. That is pretty good. I will take those odds. Call and talk with him and ask him about the glass blowing demonstration.
