We are now in Port Stevens, the "Dolphin Capital" of the world. We went on afour hour Dolphin Watch cruise and as they promised we saw lots of dolphinsswimming all around the boat. We got to see some really close to the boat. Theyare such beautiful and graceful animals. Caitlin was in her glory.
Sean andConnor went swimming in the bay and tried their luck at a boom net that wasattached to the boat as we drove back. They loved it except that Connor thoughtthe water was too cold. We shouldn't have that problem as we head up to the GoldCoast. We have heard the water is like bath water.
After the cruise, we drove to a nearby national park hoping to spot some Koalas but no such luck. We went to agreat restaurant for dinner-- we all had Fish & Chips except for Shannon whoisn't a seafood fan.
By the way, we took Shannon's soft cast off today per thedoctor's instructions. The arm looks good although it is still a bit bruised andvery stiff. Her soft cast went up to mid upper arm keeping her arm in a "L"position since she broke it. She's trying hard to move it but her elbow isstiff. The Doctor warned it would be stiff for about 3-4 days.
With all thewalking she did today, she did slip her arm back into the splint/sling afterseveral hours (also a suggestion from the doctor). She should gain her strengthand mobility back over the next couple of days. She has been such a trouperthrough the whole ordeal. Our goal is to have her in swimming condition by theGold Coast.
Hope everyone is ready for the holidays and that Santa will be goodto all. Signing off... Deb, Sean, Caitlin, Connor and Shannon.
