Will Fiona visit us?

Last night Fiona called. She asked me if I would "let" her visit us at home.  I have never ever said she couldn't so of course the answer is yes.  The weird part of the question was that after we were on our way home from the last visit, KC asked when Fiona would come and visit us at our house.  Truly those two have some kind of psychic connection thing going on.

There is stuff to work through before it happens and I suspect it is longer down the road than either kid thinks.   The plan is for 3 successful on site visits (we have had 2 thus far) and three successful off site visits in their area. These would be walks or jaunts to a park etc.  Fiona suggested a trip to a toy store and both Jane and I said no to that particular plan! LOL

Then after those had happened we would work on a visit to our house.  From my perspective the main logistical nightmare is transport and making sure that Fiona is willing to follow her diabetic eating plan at our home. there was a bit of a dustup when she made her food choice at our last visit.  Her choice was a giant plate of stuffing.  Clearly more than one starch worth.  Jane had to deal with it as it was on their turf and i just busied myself with everyone else's lunch options.  But if she is with us she needs to be amenable to eating in a way that is going to keep her safe and healthy during the visit.   It is exciting to be working toward this though.  It kindles--or rekindles that hope in me that someday she could spend  a weekend, be here on holidays etc.  And i know of course rationally that those are trigger times and not on the time line at all at this point, but I can't help myself!

Sounds pretty exciting to plan for her to visit, even if it's a little ways off. Sounds like she's improving, slowly but surely. So happy for you all!

Forward thinking and making "future pictures" of what things could look like is so exciting.
