Memorial Week-end Part I

Son Terrenece and Our little Dax

You can imagine how excited we were to be with Family on Memorial Weekend. Our week was planned for several events this was the first one.   I have pictures of some of the people that were there. Uncle Bob and Aunt Lorraine and Aunt Sherron. . A lot of  the pictures that we should have taken I didn't have my camera. Cousin Paul and his family came. Aunt Zora, Uncle Darwin and Aunt Beth came by. This meant so much to us. It was an amazing time for us.

I have been missing in the 'blogger' action!!! I'm so sorry. Just can't get back into the blogging routine.

UPDATE:


Mr. Clark continues his health fight. Right now we are playing the medicine game. It's complicated to keep him  comfortable and stable. He seems to be doing ok.. We found a miracle drug that helps his restless legs.

The side affects are alarming. But Mr. Clark has had some much needed relief. So We are trying to work through them.
The little things right now like:
1- He has had noooooo appetite: (I need this for a few months!) which has caused his sugars to take a nose dive. :(  Just had to tweak his insulin pump again. SHEW.
2- His blood pressure has been high/low. Grrrrrrrrr
3- He is getting random blisters

 And the battle goes on.
 

During this time he had a blood hemorrhage in his left eye and couldn't see out of it. He had surgery on 4/16 to correct it. Once again, the Doctor said, "He's Mr. Miracle Man" he can see 20/25. We were sooooooo happy!

We have been to Dallas to get evaluated for yet another year at Baylor on the Transplant list.

We stayed 4 day's: ( A needed break from the routine)  It was a trial run taking dialysis with us. Holy Cow was I nervous. Mr. Clark just slept through it! LOL (Yes, we feel blessed to be able to travel with the machine) It is a lot of work. (Thankfully Clark could do all the lifting.)

  I still haven't resolved my shoulder issues- I just don't lift. Scrapped the physical therapy because of the travel. Haven't got back to it. :(



Here is the pics of our adventure:

The Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Gardens
The most fascinating thing we LOVED was our Tour Guide. I can't believe I didn't get a picture of him. These gardens are even more significant when you know the history of how it came to be.  Owned by Everetter DeGoyler who's home you can tour. We enjoyed it so much.
 
*Arboretum History
The Dallas Arboretum was founded upon the dreams of a few visionary Dallasite

By 1980, DABS had raised over one million dollars and purchased the 22-acre Camp Estate, which is adjacent to the DeGolyer Estate. Both estates are located on White Rock Lake.
• In 1982, the signing of a contract between the City of Dallas and DABS created an arboretum and botanical garden on the combined 66 acres of the DeGolyer and Camp properties. The gardens opened to the public for the first time in 1984

The Dallas Arboretum is a 66 acre garden that houses both the DeGolyer Estate and the Camp Estate.

Along with the beautiful gardens we got to see a couple of girls celebrate their Quinceanera.
