Here I am: Packers vs Chargers Game at Lambeau

Monday, November 13th:

After I put Theo on the bus I headed to the grocery store. Costco stopped stocking these egg bites that Josh really likes. I decided to try to make them myself. I chopped up spinach and bell peppers and put those in the bottom of the cups. I then mixed cottage cheese, egg whites, and mozzarella in a blender and added that mixture to the spinach and bell peppers.

30 minutes later I was pretty impressed! I hope Josh likes them!

Theo had six observable seizures today.

Tuesday, November 14th:

Josh's job is starting to wrap up, so they've been working long hours and moving some heavy equipment around the station.

Josh had to work late, so I took Theo to PT/OT and then to The Legacy Ranch. Sherman had the day off so Theo got to ride Ajax. Ajax is a super sweet horse who is taller, older (26 years old!), and a little thinner than Sherman. Theo seemed like he got a little cold last session, so I got him a cozy flannel and a puffy vest. He really like riding on Ajax and it seemed like he was nice and warm.

Theo had nine observable seizures today.

Wednesday, November 15th:

Theo had a short day at school due to the school Thanksgiving party lunch. Josh and I went to the school at 11:00 AM, hung out with Ms. Jess, got some great food, and chatted with a few people from Theo's class. We then took Theo home so he could take a nap before feeding/speech with Ms. Jen and nutrition with Ms. Jeannine.

[Theo had so much fun playing in the leaves with Ms. Jess]

Theo had three observable seizures today.

Thursday, November 16th:

Theo had another great day at school! He has been standing in his stander and at his desk with immobilizers, participating in class, and staying awake all day!

After school I took Theo to OT. He was really showing off his strength with Ms. Laura!

Josh and his crew waited around ALL DAY for corporate to give them the go-ahead for final tie-ins. They finally got word at 2:00 PM that they could start the long process of cutting the pipe and connecting it to the station.

And 13 hours later Josh got home. I hated it! I was so worried the entire time he was at work and then I was worried he'd fall asleep on the long drive home. Working 21 hours when you were only expecting to work 12 is awful! I'm so glad everyone made it home safely!

Theo had nine observable seizures today.

Friday, November 17th:

HAPPY LIFE DAY!

Josh was able to sleep in a bit and Theo went off to school on the bus.

[Adorable Thanksgiving art!]

After school I took Theo to PT where he was a little feisty. He wouldn't cooperate and just wanted to go on the swing. Ms. Cody had to compromise with him a few times, but she was able to get him to work.

Theo had nine observable seizures today.

On Saturday, Josh worked and I packed and got the house ready for Ms. Jess to come over.

Sunday, November 19th:

Ms. Jess came over at 5:30 AM so we could review a few things, show her all of Theo's new medications, and get her settled in for the weekend.

Josh and I then made the 3.5 hour drive to Green Bay for the Packers vs Chargers game at Lambeau Field!

We found our seats (2nd row, 50 yard line) and watched the players while they warmed up!

[Justin Herbert!]

[Gotta rent seat backs even though they are $10 a piece!]

[Only 95 minutes until kickoff!]

[Look! It's Justin!]

After watching the players for a while, we headed inside to get some food and drinks before the game started.

[It's Keenan Allen!]

[National Anthem and the flag]

[Time for kickoff!]

[Justin taking a break and coming up with a good plan]

[It was cold, but the game was very exciting!]

[Gotta get cheese curds when you are in Wisconsin]

[Towards the end of the game it was starting to get REALLY chilly]

[My boy, Justin!]

The game was neck and neck, but in the end the Packers won. I had a blast cheering on my boys and it was nice that the people sitting next to me were also Chargers fans.

I was 99% sure the Packer would win because Josh has been to six Packers games and has never seen them lose (they did tie once). I, on the other hand, have been to four Chargers game and I've never seen them win**. Cursed? Maybe?

After the game we walked through Titletown and then headed to our hotel in Appleton (about 45 minutes south of Green Bay). We went to the Stone Arch Brewhouse for dinner and got fried cheese curds and a pretzel with cheese. It was very tasty!
