Check up from the Neck up!

Mom went to Milwaukee today and had her first round of visits with the doctors since she left them about two weeks ago.  They are very happy.  Her eyesight is coming along and Dr. Harris told her to just keep doing her exercises.  Dr. Sinson said she could drive next week and Dr. Harris said only if it felt safe.  Trust me it's not safe yet.  :)  Love ya mom!  

She made the ride there and back without much problem.  Tomorrow she'll go to her parents house for the weekend and we have the food trailer set up there.  Thanks to my Uncles for getting that taken care of for us.  Most of her family will be there to a, see her and b, help out in the trailer.  She will have to take the supervisor role and sit in a chair...or perch as we call it.  I'll head there after my last official day in radio and get lil Drexel off the bus.  However, we have a football game on Sunday so we're coming home a little sooner than everyone else.  

We did get some sad news today.  Aunt Elizabeth passed this morning.  We're filled with joy and sorrow at this time.  She is in a better place after fighting dementia for so long.  She lived a long full life for 90 years and taught many, many children how to read write and do math, too from a one room school house to a standard school similar to what we have today.  Unfortunately, I will not be making this trip.  She will be buried with my Great Granparents, her brothers and sisters-in-law.  I know that Grandma and Grandpa as well as Uncle Ray and Aunt Rozella plus her parents met her with open arms.  Mom and Dad will make the 8 hour trek to Red Oak, Iowa Sunday night after we close in Marshall.  Pray that mom makes these trips ok, it is very important to her to be able to be there, dad is a pall bearer.  I'm not sure that Drexel and I will be able to make the trip as terrible as we feel about that, there is a lot to be taken care of here too.  Rest in Peace Aunt Elizabeth...your tired body deserves all the glory after your 90 years on this earth.  

For the rest of you....we'll see you in Marshall or back here in Williamsville.  Don't be strangers.  I hope to get mom to church next Sunday.  I know she would like that.
