Tonight's picture was taken in May of 2003. That day I took Mattie to the Reston Petting Zoo. A zoo which was the perfect fit for him. It was small and intimate in size and very hands on. It was never too crowded either and Mattie loved petting the sheep, goats, and horses. Not to mention feeding them too. I remember this moment in time like it was yesterday.
Quote of the day: Today's coronavirus update from Johns Hopkins.
- number of people who were diagnosed with the virus: 1,695,776
- number of people who died from the virus: 100,271
Today we were all edgy as my dad was sent to have an hour long cat scan to rule out stomach cancer. I remember these days all too well, as I know the harrowing nature of preparing for a scan, taking a scan, and then waiting for results. The waiting is a killer. But fortunately the results came back negative. Ironic, how the word negative can be a blessing when it comes to cancer and other life alternating diseases.
After the facility tour, we then took Sunny for his physical therapy appointment. Today he had aqua therapy. I wasn't sure he'd like it, but they give him plenty of treats and with that he complies. His therapist calls him the "professor." She feels he is very intelligent and is evaluating her as she provides him care. She had me laughing hysterically today, because she feels that his expressions have meaning. Specifically she thought Sunny was saying to her today (through his eyes)....... 'you could have done this better.' She has Sunny's number, and feels he is smart and analyzes everything and everyone around him. I am happy to report that Sunny maybe graduating early from physical therapy! We thought he'd need 8 weeks of it, but she feels after only four, he maybe done!
