In tonight’s DDWTD episode, it’s been a few weeks since Diez’s surgery. The shape of his head has changed and it’s not smooth. There are lumps in his head now. His parents were concerned about that because they wondered if the lumps were going to be an issue for the rest of his life or if it was going to correct itself on its own. Diez also wasn’t eating.
The only things he’s been eating are rice and candy. He doesn’t have the stomach for much else. He couldn’t even be interested in some soul food. He just wanted to eat rice and so he’s lost weight. His parents mentioned everything that’s been going on with him in his follow-up visit with his doctor. Only one parent could go with him because of covid restrictions and so it was Karen.
Karen has been on at every doctor’s visit. She more knows his doctors and so it was better for her to go with Diez, but she did live stream the appointment so that Deon could watch and ask questions of his own. The parents naturally asked about the lumps. The lumps were the screws that were used to close Diez’s new skull. They will dissolve on their own after a year and so they weren’t going to disfigure Diez.
Diez’s appetite was concerning. There was just nothing the doctor could do about it because he said everything looked good medically and so the appetite was mind over matter. Diez hasn’t been feeling himself. His appetite might come back once he starts feeling better and until then there was just nothing they could do about it.
Diez’s journey with the surgery on his head has been a long one. The family used his surgery to have a mini-vacation and now that the family knows everything is going to be alright they decided to celebrate it with a real vacation. None of the children have ever seen snow. Deon decided to book a trip into the mountains and they were going to be staying in a cabin.
It was something new for them. Karen wasn’t all that enthusiastic because she said black people don’t really camp and that she prefers to see bears behind the glass at the zoo. Another issue was the travel. They had to take the caravan of three cars to make it up into the mountains and the worst thing happened. One of the children needed the bathroom and there was no bathroom on the road.
Hence they had to use one of Deon’s baggies. There also wasn’t a trash can out and so the baggie holding the excrement had to be pinned to one of the windows. Karen made sure it wasn’t one of her windows. She didn’t want to be driving with that banging against the window and so Deon put it in his window. Then in spite of the baggie situation, they made it into the mountains.
The cabin was a large house and it was fancy. The bunk beds were the best the kids had ever seen. They loved them and it was shaping up to be a great vacation. They were celebrating Diez’s recovery. They were also celebrating Karen’s birthday. She turned forty-one. She attempted to cook breakfast for everyone and it hadn’t been great. She wasn’t the family cook. That was Deon and so he eventually took over.
Deon and Eric also did a tour around the house to make sure they weren’t predators nearby. Deon had bear repellent and they checked for bears and bear footprints. The two men found neither. They went back to the house and said it was all clear and so everyone went out. They went sledding. They built snowmen. They tasted snow and realized it tasted just like ice.
Which they hated because they prefer sugar on their ice. The kids enjoyed themselves in the snow and afterwards they decorated the house as a nice birthday surprise for mom. They even got her a gift. They all did a video for her telling her how much they love her and how proud they were to have her as their mom. It was great from them.
Karen cried when she saw the video. The video had messages from the kids and it had photos of Karen even as a child. They really put in the work. They also sang the song they created for birthdays and so Karen called one of the best gifts for her birthday. Being at that big house surrounded by her loved ones just made the day special. It also made Karen realize that they need a bigger house.
She’s talked about this with Deon in the past and he’s always said they can look for a bigger house down the run. Deon liked to play it safe with their finances because they have fourteen children. They need to save money where they can. Karen on the other hand thinks they’re growing out of their house and so she wants a bigger house now and not later. It also didn’t help that Karen had news to share.
Karen wanted the bigger house for the kids. It was also for the business she wishes to start. Karen wants to open up her own manufacturing company that makes children’s clothes here in the US and she wants to open it in her hometown. There was a lot of land in the area. They could open the business and build a new house on the land. Karen pitched the trip as a good business sense to Deon. He liked. He also didn’t think now was the best time to start a business and so he put it on the backburner. And that disappointed Karen because she said Deon just doesn’t get it.
He doesn’t get this new business venture is like another child for her and she is protective of it as she would be with her children.
THE END!
