Thank you for all your birthday wishes! It is nice to have people remember you. It has been a pretty good day. My sister and her husband came down and then we (Carl, Christy, the kids and I) went to Olive Garden for lunch. Carl baked me a chocolate cake last night and Julia made me some delicious bread pudding and the ice cream with had a great dessert time at home.

I slept on the couch with Snoopy last night because he had a hard time calming down after I gave him valium so he wouldn't have another seizure. He kept barking in his kennel and with the kids here I needed to get him to be quiet and the only sure way is for him to be with me. He is doing okay but since the seizure on Friday night he is holding the water more again - it had gone down quite a bit but now he looks terrible again. But I just sat and talked with my sister and held and petted Snoops so yes it was a very good day!
