September 15, 2012 (3:15)

We didn't get to stop in this morning.  Peter had a merit badge class for scouts at 9:00 and he dawdled getting to bed last night so he wasn't able to get up in time to visit on the way, especially after I found out it was farther out than I first thought.  The merit badge session went well, but he needs to go back once more (we hope) to finish it.

Gretchen seems to be doing pretty well this afternoon.  There has been confusion but it really seems to be associated with some kind of discomfort.  Basically she doesn't handle things that deviate from the norm.  Apparently Gretchen has gotten up several times today (unauthorized and on her own I assume).

Right now Peter is reading a James Herriot story to Gretchen.  Some of the same stories that she read to him not that long ago.  Gretchen still tires easily and her voice isn't back to full strength so for her to read to him is out of the question.

I wish that I had more time to spiff up Gretchen's room.  Her sister has done a good job with furniture, flowers, and books but the walls are still bare so it is still pretty bleak in spite of all the amendments.  I'm not sure how I would go about that.

Now that Gretchen is more alert she doesn't seem to want music.  Perhaps it is just when we are here.  I wish that she was more interested in listening to some of the CDs.

I think I will post now and try to update later.
