May 2-8, 2021

Doctors appointments. Big happenings with Grandpa Frank. A new injury. A new start with a new team.


Sunday Ally worked the cameras for her new team’s state meet. Several members of her old team were competing in a Regional competition. I was watching that off and on during the day.


Turns out Cloey likes to watch gymnastics too.
We had blankets over our furniture because Cloey was sick. Becky brought her to the ER Animal Hospital on Sunday morning. Cloey was diagnosed with a UTI and after 5 days of antibiotics seems fine.



This cat wants to be anyway near Ally.


And is really enjoying the warm weather and having the windows open. 


Monday, first day of practice with new team!


Wednesday post practice. Icing her sprained ankle!! So not good. 


Thursday fast asleep on the couch after school. She iced her ankle and then took a 2 1/2 hour nap.


After the nap Ally and I watched a movie; A Quiet Place. Very good movie.


The pets. They always want to be near Ally.

Cloey turned 7 this week! 
Ally went to the orthopedist on Saturday morning. Good news; her ankle was sprained. And the ongoing persistent pain she has been having in both of her ankles is likely inflammation. The doctor gave us some things to try and said Ally could resume practice on Monday. We go back in 2 weeks to see if the pain is less.


After the doctor we went to a dog Bakery and got some treats for Cloey (And Daisy). Ally picked out this cannoli for Cloey to celebrate Cloey turning 7.




Cloey loved it!


My dad, Grandpa Frank agreed to move to Columbus Ohio and move into an Assisted Living facility there. I’ve spent many hours getting the paperwork done, arranging his transportation there, and making arrangements to set up his new place. Big decision on his part and I’ve done my best to be as supportive and helpful as I could. I called him every day (sometimes twice a day at his request) and made lists of things he wants.

And another medical thing for Ally. On Monday we met with a neuro-muscular specialist. The rheumatologist wanted to make sure there were not any issues. I’m very happy to report that Ally continues to have a clean bill of health with no current major diagnosis. The doctors at Children’s hospital have been really fantastic.
