We've pretty much given up the "meat on his bones" since it doesn't seem to matter how much or what he eats. These drugs are just making it impossible to gain anything back.

Never thought about it being so loud that you couldn't watch a movie though. Would have been nice if it had worked; the combination of rain and a movie sounds very relaxing. I love sitting on my front porch when it rains - the smell of rain is beautiful. There is a good movie out(I hear... have not seen it) with Tom Hanks - available at Red Box now - about a boy whose father died in the Twin Towers. Sandra Bullock is in it - can't recall the title... but thought you might enjoy it. Something in the title is "incredibly Loud"... I think. Really good to hear that David has a little relief from his epidural... now if we could get some meat on his bones! Congrats on getting that room up. Maybe it will keep the bugs at bay... just seeing it there. Although your replacement umbrella isn't up to snuf... it is very colorful and makes the photos look happy.carol boydnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-47262915684331617122012-05-25T14:15:10.621-04:002012-05-25T14:15:10.621-04:00Thank you for the compliment Paul.
