Thanks everyone for your support!
I really appreciate it. Just to clarify some things we're currently looking to put our house for sale during the summer. We had a realtor friend walk through it to give advice on what he thought he would help sell it. He did think the floors upstairs needed to be done. Right now the plan is that I'll take Echo to my Aunt's and stay there while things are being done. I'm so grateful to her for that. That will be sometime after Christmas.
As far as the townhouses goes, the ones we are looking at some of them are still being built. My mom has a friend who lives in one. There are bungalow style with a basement. My mom's friend has rented out her basement and never hears her tenant. So hopefully that means soundproofing is really good. Echo would most likely be kept in the basement.
Its so hard to know what's going on with my dad. He went in because he had cellulitis on his leg again. And had fever and was starting to go sepsis. That infection has cleared up but he's still have some medical problems like keeping food down. And the doctor aren't sure why. He's had and is having a bunch of tests done. His mobility has declined steeply and currently can't get out of bed. Plus he's having delusions and confused a fair amount of the time. It's really sad to see him like this. While he hasn't been diagnosed with anything terminal the way he continues to decline his doctor has prepare us for the worse.
On happier note Echo is doing well. And is his usual happy self
He had been missing meeting new people because of covid. This year we decided it was safe enough for us to hand out candies at Halloween. Echo loved that! He got to see and interact some kids. And when each group of kids left he would say "I'm a good bird!"
One of my brother's friends came up to help get some stuff around the house done. (There is so much to do before we can sell it). She was afraid of birds at first, but Echo quickly won her over! And now he's her favorite bird. Lol. She was very nice and it was cool to watch her become friends with Echo.
Echo has been cracking me up lately when I overhear him talking to himself. I caught him once having the tiniest of conversation with himself.
It went like this
Hello Echo
How's Echo?
I'm good.
He's too cute sometimes
