Today was a good day for Isaac. He didn’t get sick at all today! He still slept a lot, which was good.

Michael planned to go to the Monroe house after work, not only to get a few things done, but also to just get over the mental hurdle of the memories now held by that location. He decided to come home first to rest a little and get changed. Before he headed over to Monroe, Isaac asked if he could go along. All of us were surprised! But after some consideration, we finally decided that it would probably be fine for Isaac to go. He went armed with his bucket (in case of sickness) and his blanket (in case he needed to lay down).

According to Michael, Isaac did just fine. He was even somewhat helpful. At one point he did feel a little nauseous, but after he laid down for a little while, that passed, and he was back in action.

It seemed so strange to have him gone! I hoped that no one would stop by to visit the resident invalid, since it would be hard to explain that he was back on the job already.

Michael and Isaac came home after 8 pm, having gotten some work done at Monroe and then stopping at the store for a few things on my list. I made a quick supper of biscuits and gravy for them which they eagerly ate.

Now we are settling down for the night. After having a conference with Michael and me discussing all the pros and cons of his medication, Isaac has decided to try getting through the night with only regular Tylenol and not the stuff with the Codeine. We have stressed to him that if he wakes up in the night with pain, to please let us know so we can give him the stronger meds. We’ll see what happens!
