Marking Time

After approximately 139 days, 96 loads of laundry, 75 dishwasher runs, and 40 trips to the hospital, we are literally counting the days until we return home (21!).  We are getting help with the move from the Logan-Stuarts and the Gehrs.  Both couples volunteered to come and haul a car load of our stuff back to Winston-Salem.  I don't feel competent to handle a trailer and Ernie is not allowed to drive given all of the Oxycontin he has in his system.

The Logan-Stuarts will come Thursday, and spend the weekend--a 13 hour round trip drive.  The Gehrs are batting clean-up, coming the night before our move and caravaning with us back to Winston-Salem.  This will be a 20 hour round trip drive for them. 

We continue to be astounded and grateful for all of the support we've received from friends and relatives in California, New York, Minnesota, Michigan, Texas, Georgia, Indiana, Ohio, North Carolina, Canada and London.  We would not be to this point without all of the calls, texts, emails, cards, care packages and visits.  "Thank you" does not seem sufficient for all that you've done.
