On the Road

Mom and dad left today for San Diego. There was a little debate about what was best-flying or driving-but after her appointment with Dr. Robbins last week, they decided to drive. Dr. Robbins said that with mom being on such high amounts of liquid oxygen, it would make traveling in an airplane difficult. Anyway, they are planning on driving 5-6 hours a day, so mom doesn't get too tired along the way. I am not completely sure of the route, but dad bought a GPS system to help them on the road.

Evan, Kendall and I had a great visit with them this weekend. You can read all about our visit here. Mom really looks great and seems to feel pretty well for the most part. She must be in tip-top shape for the surgery, so I am praying the traveling doesn't wear her out too much.

Mom and dad wanted me to post this funny story, too...Coby went to Centri-Kid with the kids from my parent's church a couple of weeks ago. At the end of that week, Kara and Jackson went down to my parent's house to spend the night and pick up Coby. As Kara and the boys were leaving, mom asked the boys to come give her a hug and told them it would probably be a while before she would see them again. Jackson immediately asks, "Why won't we see you?" Mom then tells Jackson that she's going to the hospital for a while. Jackson then replies, "Why are you going to the hospital, so you can be normal again?" So...mom is going to the hospital so she can be normal again! Isn't that cute?!?!? Jackson, as wild as he is, is pretty sharp for a five year old!

We SOOO cannot wait for mom to be normal again! I will continue to keep you guys posted on their trip. Please continue to lift my parents up in prayer!
