As most of the class knows From the class reunion, my mother has been in skilled rehab for about three weeks now. The good news is that she will be discharged on Friday, August 30, just in time for us to take her with us to Kansas City for my son Brian‘s wedding.
The day after the wedding, Labor Day, we will be driving back to Des Moines with our daughter Valerie and her daughter Ellie. Bright and early the next morning we will be up and off to Bozeman, MT with mother’s car, Since she can no longer drive.
Three days later Susan and I are flying to Philadelphia for the birth of our third grandson from our daughter Krista. He will be born on September 10th. We are fortunate to see all three kids within the same week, has spread out as they are. Once we are back in Polk City, Susan has chosen to take a sabbatical from work to stay home with Norma. Although she has improved, they are still recommending 24 hour care.
