Lance entered a shooting contest the day before the accident, and won.. So Friday they came and presented him with the scope he won.. So Saturday dad had to get it out and let lance mess around with it a little bit.. In his new room they had to position the bed just right so they could see out the window and up on the mountain... He said he could be able to count the scratches on the horns with that thing.. It was good to see the same ol Lance come out
So I got to go up there again last weekend, but not this one and man I'm struggling.. My parents left to go up there today, and its been a rough day... My dad came home with us Sunday and then went back up today for my cousins wedding and to be with him.. I didnt think I would have a hard time, but I was wrong.. Its all I can think about.. So I'm trying to keep my mind off it.. And I've had no problem finding ways to do that.. =)
But he got moved out of ICU last Friday, into the Nerological Care Unit.. Which means bigger room, and we can all fit... When me and my mom got up there Friday night, Tavia and Jode were there too.. So we sat in there and talked, and I got harrassed by Jode.. Ha ha.. He thinks he's pretty funny.. And then went out to dinner with them.. It was good to see both of them.. Last time I saw Tav we were both havin a hard time.. So this time was way better.. Lance got a couple of hand held games like solitare, and yatzee and everyone was trying to show Tav how to play and Lance told me to wheel his bed over so he could watch, so we kinda did, and hes all
well this is dumb, I thought you were playin the actual game.. He wasnt very impressed.. Then the nurse came in to ask him what he wanted to eat.. And said pudding, apple sauce, jello.. And lance says DID YOU JUST ASK ME IF I WANTED TO EAT JODE???? Ha ha we all about died.. Pretty sure he didnt quite hear JELLO... So we told him that Jode probably isnt as good as jello, but then they brought in this chewy jello and we all took that back.. ha...

Then we went over there saturday and sat there, and his nurse was korean, or chinese?? I dont know she just couldnt speak very good english and she said something and Lance yells "what are you saying about a bartender??" I wish I could remember what she really did say... It was pretty funny... Then we got out the scope Lance won and messed around with that a little while, before we got to go get the girls.. Since they are minors I got to go past security and get them when they come off the plane.. I was standing right by the door waiting.. They had to be the last ones off... When I saw them walking down the ramp I started waving, and they just stared at me like I was crazy.. Till they figured out who I was.. But it was so good to spend some time with them... We went over there for a little while Sunday but there was so many people in there, we didnt stay too long.. But it was good to be with him again.. We talked about whats goin on in my life, and he asked for one of my cd's so I think my dad is taking one up.. He's still not feeling much, but started physical therapy yesterday... He called my mom to wish her a happy birthday and told her it was a rough day and he was pretty sore, but they put him in his wheelchair and he got to go outside.. So I know what I'm doin next time I go up.. Hes kinda getting his fine motor skills in his hands back... He had his hat there and had it on and was adjusting the brim of it, and he can put his oxygen mask on and off, but not using his fingers just his fist... But that should come back with therapy.. I can't believe how much better he gets everytime I see him.. It amazes me.. We got to take the sacrament again on Sunday and this time my parents were there, and they also have a service thats like 30 minutes we went to for a lil bit when he got his bath.. Its pretty neat... Well thats about it about Lance.. I'm starting a new somewhat job helpin my friend out at his diesel shop a couple hours a week to make up for the saturdays I've missed at Remax so thats been letting me go up and see him which is nice... So I go in tomorrow.. Other than that same ol life.. I've been up to Enterprise a lot seein friends I havent gotten to in a while, so thats been really nice.. I miss it up there... I forgot how much I loved it when I moved down here, I wish I could have my old house back.. I've had some good times in that house.. That was the best a couple years ago to come home and go hang out with all my friends up there, and not worry about driving or anything..
But thats about it for now... I wont be able to go see Lance this weekend or the next... My dad has to talk in church next sunday.. lol... But I will make sure I'm up the next... I hate not seeing him... Its funny because I've gone years without seeing him and then this happens and it makes you realize you have to enjoy every minute.. So its been nice seeing Lance and Tavia quite a bit.. It sucks they live so far away...
I will keep you all updated on everything
Loves
