Dixie gave everyone a scare yesterday. When we were in Vail for lunch, 3 or 4 nurses were in with her as her oxygen was low. We called right away as we saw what was going on through the cameras. The problem is when she sleeps, she breathes through her mouth and not her nose where the oxygen hose is. Once she starts breathing through her nose, her O2 levels go right up. They said her BP was also low, but we let them know, that’s normal for her. It’s 5:45 am and Lori just looked at her on the camera and Dixie was opening her door and heading out for a stroll. The caregiver saw her and just put her back to bed. She is getting frail, and we have to force her to eat but she still understands us and can joke around. We switched her to a full-face oxygen mask which will be much better as long as she leaves it on.
Ty finished up work at 5 and went over to our friend Chris’s new Italian place next door to his work the dinner shift for another 3 hours busing tables as Chris was short staffed at his place. I guess the bus boy and hostess both called in sick or didn’t show so Ty said he’d go over and help out. They were super appreciative and would love to have Ty work there. When I picked him up at 8:30, he said maybe he could work two jobs to really make money. Poor kid was tired though as he worked 13 hours yesterday. It’s almost 6 and he needs to be back at work at 7 so I need to wake him in 5 minutes. He has a great work ethic, and everyone loves him.
We’ll take him and then go to the gym. We could use a break too as between Ty and Dixie, we’re running around here and there all day long. We hung out with Dix for 3 hours on the way home from lunch. Lunch was great with Jim and Julie. Jim’s parents showed up halfway through our meal and sat close to us. His dad Peter is an amazing guy who I’ve known for a few years. It was great to see them.
We had a good rain in Vail yesterday. It’s a little cloudy outside right now but nice. Time to get moving. Ty’s having a hard time getting up, understandably so. Jag is heading up today.
James and I texted back and forth yesterday, and he is doing well. He has his second show in I think Toronto tonight and then is off to Dallas. Then L.A. and then we’ll all be in Phoenix. Being on the road that long has to be hard. He’ll get a month break pretty soon.
Have a great Sunday, be safe, take care and God Bless.
