More Family

I usually keep a diary for myself but haven't had time lately. I hope I can remember what has happened.
Curt actually took a shower late on Friday afternoon with the help of a Hospice person. Right after that, our supper arrived with some friends.
The past 2 mornings Curt has thrown up a little the first thing. I think he has swallowed stuff coming out of the holes in his mouth during the night (he actually swallows this all the time). I rub in a couple nausea creams and then feed him later. He ate 4 times yesterday (half portions), and so far twice today (it is after 2 PM now). Right now everyone (except Curt's older brother (Denny) and wife (Sandy)) went to the sheep barns to see the baby lambs and then are going to stop at a used book sale for our library. Curt's younger brother, Gary, arrived at our house yesterday morning about 8:30 (he flew in the night before). At noon everyone (except Gary, Curt and I) went to our friends, the Reistads, for lunch. Their older son and his family came down from Seattle to see Curt. They visited Curt in the morning. It was a beautiful day - sunny and around 60 degrees. Curt sat on the porch to watch the kids play and actually walked around our street in the afternoon. He then watched Gary, Jef and Jason try to clean off some iron stains on our driveway (they had gone to a hardward store to get a something for it). Angie and Beth took the kids to a nearby playground for a little while too. We had Woodstocks pizza for supper.
Denny and Sandy arrived in Portland around 2 o'clock on Saturday. It took them a long time to get their rental car. They were going to stop at a Walgreens in Albany (we don't have one in Corvallis) to get some medicine for Denny, but they didn't have it, so they had to drive back to Salem to get it. They finally got to our house about 7:30. They left here about 10 PM to check into their hotel. Gary is staying in Albany (the motels were busy in Corvallis) and returned this morning after 9. It was after 10 before Denny and Sandy showed up.
Curt has been sleeping alot today. Jef said his parents might come for a visit from Salem later this afternoon. I think Jef, Maddie and Vega might return to Lake Oswego tonight. Gordon Reistad is going to take Jason, Aaron and Sam to the Portland airport tomorrow morning. Gary has a "red eye" flight back to Moline, IL, on Monday night. Denny and Sandy will leave early Wednesday morning for the airport. Curt will turn 67 years old on Thursday, March 4. Angie is staying part of the week. Beth will leave at the end of the week. We have all been enjoying all the goodies that have been brought. We will all have to go on a diet soon! Thank you so much for everything!
