Burn, baby burn...

When Brian moved out of his apartment and moved home he brought a couch and loveseat that were in very bad shape. They went on the burn pile. Then he bought a couch and loveseat that ended up being full of bugs after sitting in storage so guess where it went - right, on the burn pile. Along with the rest of our limbs and boxes that were already on the burn pile we were sent to burn in today. Guess what...way too much stuff on the burn pile at one time. We had an inferno that we really should not have had. Really scary. I thought we were going to have to call 911 because it got out of control for a little while. But, Tom didn't want to do that - he just took the garden hose and starting fighting the fire. In the end he got burnt on his face and arm. His face looks bad, really red. He is hurting right now. We were suppose to work on the yard some today, but he said that all he wanted to do was ride on the mower. I think he will be suffering for quite a while.
Yesterday mom developed a leak, so she got to change her own bag with Alayna and I watching. She must have done a good job since it is still attached. Way to go mom!!! She is concerned that she is filling her external urine bag and her attached urine bag at least twice during the night. In fact, she is emptying her bag about after 30 minutes during the day. Her right foot and ankle are still swollen so I think I am going to have to go to the cardiologist office and take up residence until they get her a new doctor. I think we need to see the heart doctor to make sure she is not having issues with the swelling. Today, she walked around in the yard for a short time and then sat on the deck. She made apple crisp this morning as well.
