Tim's sister Amy left us on Tuesday. Her daughter had hoped that Amy could make a snowman and take a picture of it. However, it warmed up just as Amy arrived and didn't snow again until the day she left. She did make it home safely, if a little later than originally planned. Thanks, Amy, for your visit. Thanks to Amy's family for managing without Mommy for a week.
My parents arrived Wednesday afternoon. They've been real troopers. Mom's been doing laundry, grocery shopping and making Christmas cookies. Dad's done some electrical repairs and lots of snow shoveling, as we've had two snow storms since they've been here.
My parents will stay until January 1. After that, things are still up in the air. Tim's sister Sharon is coming out the third week in January. His other siblings have expressed a willingness to come out again, but there are no definitive travel plans at this time. I had hoped that by this point in Tim's treatment we'd be able to manage on our own. However, we spend so much time at the hospital every single day, that keeping the rest of the house and the kids going on my own is just overwhelming. So I appreciate the help very much. Many people have offered to come and help, but coordinating outside help is just another chore that I really don't have the time or energy to do. Having a relative staying here means that things can happen whether I'm home or not.
