We had a great boring day today. Boring is good at this point though, it means that there were no surprises throughout the day. Brenn was up 4 times last night for food, so we are all a little tired today, but we were able to sleep in until 8:15 this morning, which was a very special treat. I was awake and reading for about a half hour before anyone else woke up, which was a great way to start the day.

A group from Telus came in to make us a wonderful brunch this morning. There were 10 Telus employees and family members in the kitchen this morning, which Brenn really didn't like. The kitchen has been her refuge and resting place over the past couple weeks, and it was tough for her to take the invasion, and she had a pretty decent melt down. We feel really bad for her, because we know that her medication is really messing with her system, and it is really hard to modulate her behavior. We can't really get upset with her, because it really isn't her fault that she is acting this way. Once the food was done though, Brenn loved it! She was really excited to have so many choices, she was almost beside herself with pure delight. She ate bacon, 2 helpings of scrambled eggs, an waffle with strawberries, whip cream and syrup, and a huge pile of fruit. She was in her element!

Right after breakfast, we decided to take a drive out to Deep Cove. It was another drizzly day, and Brenn was tired, so we were hoping that she would have a nap for 20 minutes or more. the nap only lasted about 5 minutes, but it was a beautiful drive. The water was smooth like glass, and there were lots of people out in kyacks. We were thinking that it might be fun to rent a couple kyacks and go for a little paddle, but we thought that we should wait for a warmer day, and wait for Samantha so that she can come as well. The girls really like to be on the water, and see all the birds, and hopefully sea life.

I went for a really great run later in the afternoon while Christine and Brenn went off to a really small yarn store. When they were at the store, Brenn met the man who drew some of the Disney princesses. He is now working on his own project developing a kids cartoon. He autographed and dated a picture of one of his new characters for Brenn. It was pretty exciting for her. She seemed to be in better spirits after such a chance meeting, and ate a good dinner. We have been having some trouble getting all of her medications into her twice everyday, so we are trying different things. Tonight, we borrowed some gel caps from one of the other moms here in the house. I crushed up all of her pills and filled the gel caps, and Brenn really liked taking the gel caps over all of the pills...Eureka! We are going to go find a pill crusher tomorrow, and some gel caps, and don't worry, we are allowed to do such things to her medications.

Today was a good day. Tomorrow will be another thanks to everyones prayers and thoughts. Thank you all! You all have made such a big difference for us, just knowing that you are there.
