Trip To PB&J's House

Most of the week had been fairly normal considering it was time for Stacey to have some problems. Wednesday Stacey had noticed a slight twitching, but nothing developed, so we planned on going to Smith's Grove to baby sit for Julie. I was going along to make sure nothing went wrong with Stacey. We left the house about 6 AM after having a sausage biscuit that Linda made for us. We turned onto the Cumberland Parkway and after a few minutes of cruising I noticed Stacey was having trouble. I asked her a few questions and her responses kept getting less and less. I told Linda to give Stacey a 10mg Valium at 6:30 AM and I continued to drive. Stacey calmed down a little but her involuntary movements were still happening. About an hour later, I pulled the HHR into PB&J's driveway and told Stacey to remain in the car. I went around and grabbed her arm and we walked to their door. Linda was carrying stuff and as Stacey and I went inside the doorway, Stacey dropped like a rock, but I caught her before she hit the floor. Brent grabbed her legs and we carried her to the couch. Pauline grabbed Julie out of the way as we made our hectic entrance Shortly after that Pauline left for work. She called and said the roads were in terrible shape with freezing rain and ice on them. Linda gave Stacey another 5 mg Valium about 8:30. The news reported kids were still on the school buses in some locations about 9:30 as Stacey was again having involuntary movements and we gave her another 5mg Valium. About a half hour later, Stacey had calmed down again and seemed to be doing OK. A little after noon Brent went with me to Smith's Grove for some sandwiches from Wendy's. The roads were extremely slick. They were covered completely with about a half inch of ice. Once back at the house, we ate and played with Julie until Pauline came home around 6 PM.
  
  
Linda and Brent fixed chicken and rice for supper and we played Aggravation on their new dinning room table until nearly bedtime.
Friday morning, Pauline fixed everyone breakfast and then we messed around until it was time for Pauline and Brent to go to their eye doctor appointment. Linda and Stacey remained at P&B's house and took care of Julie while I took them to their doctor's appointment because they were both going to have their eyes dilated for examinations. Pauline and Brent went in on the Sweetheart's Plan. Supposedly they get cheaper prices for both going together as a couple. They are planning on having the Lasik laser surgery done to correct their vision problems. We were at the examination for about 2-1/2 hours. We picked up sandwiches on the ride back to their house and ate. Pauline, Julie and Stacey rode with Linda driving their car while Brent rode with me to the farm. Pauline and Brent couldn't drive because of their eyes having been dilated. The girls made an extra stop in Glasgow to shop for Julie some outfits. We stayed inside the rest of the day to keep them out of bright light and then Linda fixed us home made pizza after dark for supper.
