Cord's Heart - DBG Restores Sanity and Going Home

10/5/2015

When I decide I am going to do something - I will put my head down and push through and do it.  Well we love DBG (Denver Botanic Gardens), they have been our friends and supporters since Panayoti discovered us in the woods.  Sarah Olson - our Program Director just called me and saved me from myself.  During our conversation I realized that trying to pull off this presentation and workshop is too much.  We rally because that's what you do - not because in this case - it is the best plan.  I was also stuck on it because we need to work to make it through the next months.  Well, as you know - the crowdfunding site has taken that worry away - and postponing won't mean we can't finish our house due to lack of funds. They rescheduled us for November 19-20 - the announcement will come soon for those of you planning to attend.
It is best that we focus on our house and getting Cord back into his own bed to rest.  Max can stay on task much better this way.  I needed Sarah to snap me out of my confusion and overload.  I felt waves of relief flooding through me - what was I thinking?  Sarah made it all seem possible - that moving this most excellent speaker series WAS totally doable.  
THANK YOU Sarah - we really love you girl.
I asked greenhouse owners to start sending in their photos - as I could not go and do it myself.  I will tell you - this presentation will blow your minds in November - it will be the best ever - the photos - the success - the beautiful greenhouses Cord and his crew built this year are just incredible.  Stunning pictures are rolling in - I cannot wait to show you.  We will knock it out of the park in November.  I hope you can come - Cord will be much stronger by then too.  For those of you who have to change your plans - we apologize.  I told Sarah, "I guess we have a note from the doctor!"
As for going home, we are waiting - the nurses seem to be on it - someone came in from the pharmacy and went over the meds he will be taking, I've talked to the Life Vest guy, our doc is sending in the oxygen papers, Cord is sleeping, and I am pacing the halls.
Max is at home working on the house, Wulfgar and Beau are at school and I have a plan to get the chair home.  
Whew!  When we are truly out of here and truly on the mountain  - I will write again - tonight.

Our friend Joe sent these words:  
"Bad news decreases when you share it, good news increases when you share it." 

Thanks for letting me share this - it has helped so much.
Be back soon with the news! 
​Love on the wind to all!
Penn
