Look for more updates on Monday night

Well, the weekend is upon us and final preparations are underway for the trip to Mayo's. I fly out of PDX at 0'dark thirty, arriving into Omaha late afternoon. I'm very anxious to see everyone, to say the least.

Dad has had a pretty good couple of days, although he's been knocked down a notch with a cold that has somehow decided to show up for both Mom and Dad. Both are on antibiotics and Dad seems to be feeling better. Dad's also starting to talk a bit about some pressure/pain in his right eye. We're not sure if this is cold-related or what. I'm just glad we're going to see the expert crew in the Gonda Building in Rochester Monday and Tuesday.

Neurology appointment is Monday. Neurosurgery consultation is on Tuesday. I'll update the blog as we learn more. Keep those prayer chains and positive thoughts rolling throughout the week. I can't tell you how much it means to all of us.

Be well this weekend.
