Fresh Air And Starbucks

This evening Cathy took her first breaths of fresh air in six months. We took a ninety minute tour of the hospital, making a final stop in the cafeteria for a Starbucks.

It is now looking like a Tuesday or Wednesday discharge for Cathy. The bug seems to have camped out at home. The doctors are adamant about not allowing Cathy home until the infections there have run their course.

Wow, you are crusin...

Cathy, keep being patiented! You will be home soon enough. We would not want a relapse, going home before the infections have cleared.

Prayers are still being said for you.

Hey there!

Wow! A hospital tour and a Starbuck's!? Was that a decaf? I love to hear about all these milestones...it's so exciting!

I can imagine how anxious you are to get home, but I'm sure glad that the doctors are being cautious. I'm still praying for speedy healing for the girls and a Christmas for the record-books for your family!

Love you!!!!
