I wanted to update everyone. Mom is out of the hospital and doing well. She stayed with us Monday and Tuesday. My aunt made it safely down from Illinios Tuesday and her son and his family drove down Saturday. We only briefly had a chance to visit with my aunt haven't had a chance yet to see my cousin and his family. The kids picked up the flu (probably from the hospital visit last Saturday) and the planned visit with them has been put on hold. So far today, no fevers and everyone's internal plumming seems to be back to normal. I am Lysoling and hoping for a healthy family and relatively germ-free house for the rescheduled get together here on Wednesday. With all that is happening I finally relented and gave the kids this next week off. I know we all can sure use the break right now.
