Tony's B-day

I had met with Tony's care home and the Alta regional center on Friday for her annual review. Overall she's doing really well. The medicine has been changed and it's stopped much of her facial ticks, the tongue licking and teeth grinding. Overall she seemed to be in a great mood. Only thing was she was complaining about seeing Sherry on Sat and that Sherry was swearing about Maria and I alot.
Saturday we went back to the Orinda property and got a few more bids. We picked and ordered our blinds and decided on a carpet/laminate solution for the house. Thigs are coming together, including the total cost to get it ready for rent. It seems we're going to be about double our budget, but feel it's all coming together. Hopefully we'll have it all done before May 13th when we go on vacation.
Monday was Tony's birthday. We decided that we'd take her out on Sunday to the Rivercat's game. We knew it was going to be a challenge, it was the first time we'd try and take Nate to a game, and we decided to also bring our niece Claudia as well.

We forgot the handicap parking pass, so Tony had to walk a bit more. However when we got to the main area, they were quick to bring her a wheelchair and bring her to our seats on the grass, and they also brought her back after the game. She seemed to have a good time, enjoyed the hot dog, popcorn, frozen yogurt, lemonade etc. She was really packing in the food.
Nate and Claudia didn't seem to interested in the game. Nate was more focused on the guy making ballon animals, face painting and most importantly the bounce houses. I don't think he even realized there was a game going on. I think we could have gone to a park and had just as much fun. He did enjoy the food, but it wasn't a focus.
