So one of the things that Andrew asked Dr. Moritz about today was sleeping pills.  He could not sleep at all last night and he was at the end of his rapidly fraying rope.  Dr. Moritz decided not to prescribe him anything because of his age.  He said that Andrew was too young to be taking anything and that he should really try to sleep without it.

For the past two nights, Matt has been sleeping in the recliner that we have in our room.  His rest last night was less than peaceful, but that was due more to the fact that he did not take a percocet, than anything else.  Dr. Moritz told him today that he should take the percocet and that he wont get addicted to it and if it helps him get some comfortable sleep than that is what he should do.  Thank you Dr. Moritz.  Now, why can Matt have something and Andrew can not? Who knows.  Andrew is more vulnerable and has a lot of stuff running through his system right now, so I can only guess that there is a concern about layering something else atop all the necessary medications.

While Andrew was here at Jenn’s House this afternoon, he took two naps.  The first one he took was in the recliner in our room.  He slept about 45 minutes and was feeling good when he woke up.  A few hours later, Matt went up for a nap in our room, so we set up Andrew in another bedroom, in a more cushy recliner.  He slept for an hour and a half.  He felt even better!  Are we all on the same page here? Andrew needs a recliner!

The local furniture store, Ashley’s, has a store very close to A&R’s.  We started looking around on the internet and pricing various chairs that looked comfortable.  Rachelle called the store and asked about prices and delivery and while they had plenty of chairs, they would not be able to deliver tonight.  Andrew and Rachelle decided to check it out anyway.

About an hour ago, A & R bought a chair!  One that was just right.  They explained  that Andrew had just had surgery and that they were looking for something to get home tonight.  The salesman, Matt (irony, love it), talked to his manager and they gave A&R a really good deal on the chair.  They still would not be able to arrange delivery on such short notice, but they would wrap it up well and do whatever they could to help them get it out of the store.  Rachelle made a few phone calls and viola! arrangements were made.  Jonathan and Jason, Rachelle’s brothers to the rescue.  They met them at the store and got that chair home.  There is a theme here.  Brothers rock**.

I have a philosphy.  Ready, cause I just love this philosophy.  I think that most people are just waiting to be able to do something good.  I think a lot of the worlds focus is on the bad stuff and we find it too easy to forget about the good stuff.  I think, that anytime you hand someone the opportunity to do something helpful and good, they’ll take it.  People are inherently good when given the chance.  It is so amazing.  And, the best part is,  not only does it benefit the recipient but it benefits the donor.  That’s it.  I just had to put it out there.  The sales guy wanted to do something good (great price), the brothers did something good (speedy delivery) and everyone gets something good in return. 

So Goldilocks found his perfect chair and good feelings abound.  Who needs Dr. Moritz’s sleeping pills?!?

**Alright sisters.  We rock too.  There are a lot of sisters reading this blog and you know I love my sisters!!**
