Doing Pretty Well

Round 27 is now half way over and Trent is doing pretty well.  As always, the first few days are a real downer but by Sunday Trent was doing pretty well.  He opted out of most of the soccer games on Saturday but was feeling well enough to make us dinner on Sunday.  He lays around watching the Food Network all the time so when he feels well, we reap the benefits in the way of new, tasty food.  I think he has learned to pace himself so that he rests as much as he can while the kids are at school so he can be more involved when they are home.

Yesterday we headed over to our storage shed to get Trent's compound miter saw for the project he is working on.  He even lugged that thing out of the shed and into the car.  It is not too heavy, and the old Trent could have twirled it around like a baton.  But, it was especially impressive, all things considering, to see him lifting the saw around without too much trouble.  He is working on a frame for his relief carving.  He has had so much fun and spent many hours perfecting his first masterpiece.  I can't wait to see it complete.

Tonight we are off to more activities for the kids.  I love that Trent can come with me!  The surgery schedule has worked out so well for us.  By the time surgery is here the kids' spring activities will all be done and our schedule will slow down considerably.  It is just too dang bad that his whole summer is pretty much down the tubes.  We will just have to be creative with the activities we choose and get ready for a busy fall once the kids start school again.  Life is pretty darn good!
