Shampoos and Head Massages

Brenan seemed to have a slight headache that lasted most of the day yesterday, but not bad enough to take any pain medication. We are trying to convince him to keep medicated even if pain seems to subside. It's a tough task because Brenan has always been a very healthy, un-medicated person for all his life.

Mom found a way to shampoo Brenan's hair outside the shower - hospitals and their handy dandy inventions these days! They provide patients with shower caps to wash hair without having to use water. Hopefully the scalp massage helped with the headache. Maybe so, because Brenan taught Mom a new card game and even beat her at it. Wait a sec, Brenan. Aren't you supposed to give new learners a break?? Well you're sick, so we'll let it slide.

I'll post again later today with another update, I'm on my way to the hospital right now.

Now, I heard a rumor that Brenan and my Mom are notorious card cheaters! :-) Couldn't possibly be any truth to that, now, could there? :-)

Actually, Brenan, your dear Aunt Peggy is indeed a deck-stacking cheater. You aren't the only one she's talked into that. When my 2 boys were still living at home and Mom and Dad would come to visit, ol' Peggy would talk my boys into stacking the deck and cleaning my clock at every card game they could con me into playing. They thought they were so danged funny! Yeah, okay... so maybe it was a LITTLE bit funny. ;-)

Hope the headache is gone today, Honey. I'll check in later for Elisa's much-appreciated updates. Love to you all!

I would expect nothing less! Allowing a rookie to win is not in a guy's nature.

Hi Brenan!
I've been thinking a lot about you lately. Sorry I haven't been able to make it up. My internship is 5 days a week and I work at Coach on the weekends, but know as soon as I get a chance I will drive up there. Just wanted to drop you a line to let you know that you are in my thoughts and prayers!
Love, Bradie XOXOX
