No fireworks for mom

We asked nurse Carrie if we could conveniently arrange for Mom to be moved to the top of the parking garage for tomorrow's fireworks. We told her we could cause a distraction then hijack mom like in the movies. Carrie laughed and played along, even suggesting "We could cover you with a sheet and slide you out that way!"

Mom didn't like that suggestion. Something about a toe-tag didn't seem appetizing.

So, it doesn't look like Mom will get a chance to see the fireworks tomorrow. She'll still be in the hospital through the weekend.

Dr. Granger says they're most concerned about the acute areas -- lungs and clot. Once we're through those hurdles, we'll begin to discuss a discharge.

Jen and Dad have been home working on the house to get it ready. Faith must be going out of her mind wanting someone to bark at!
