We're Back in Michigan
We arrived at my parents' house at about 10:30 a.m. Saturday. It was a long, long trip in a little over 3 days. (Over 2,500 miles) My Mom took a bad turn Thursday night and ended up on a ventilator in ICU. She had received a 2nd blood transfusion and was getting extra liquids because she was dehydrated. Her body couldn't keep up with it and she basically had a fluid overload. She is doing fine now. They took the tube out of her throat yesterday and it was a great Easter present to walk in and see her awake and sitting up. My Dad couldn't stand up from his wheelchair fast enough to give her a kiss.. :-) He even had her nurse tearing up. Jason brought the grandkids over yesterday afternoon and we sure surprised them. They had no idea that we were back in Michigan. I made a ham dinner for everyone and we had a great visit. We will be staying at my parents for a while. Our trailer is just around the corner from here at a friends' house who has a lot of property. That worked out good for us. So, for now, our adventures will be few. We're still planning to attend the rally in TN at the end of this month, as long as things are OK here and we can have someone take over with my parents. We're just playing everything by ear right now.
