Sunday, January 21

I am back from Los Angeles! Great news about my Dad! He is doing 100% better! We were able to take him home from the hospital Thursday afternoon. He is breathing great and doesn't even need oxygen. He is a true fighter also! (HI DAD! GLAD YOU'RE BACK UP AND AT 'EM!).
This has been a long, busy couple of weeks! I hate traveling alone. I had an hour and a half layover in Las Vegas going out to L.A and I was just thinking how much Kevin would love to be sitting at those slot machines haha! I got to share the flight from Las Vegas to LAX with the crew from Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. I also got to go into the hospital where they film Grey's Anatomy while in Los Angeles. Pretty cool! They film it in the VA hospital where my Dad normally goes for his check ups. We went to talk to someone there about options for my Dad and what we should do. Pretty neat being at the hospital then watching the show that night and recognizing it all! I had some delays on my flight back--boarded at LAX, then as we were about to leave, Phoenix pretty much shut down (where I was going through back to Tulsa) because of a storm, so we had to sit on the plane for an hour before we left. Then, when we finally got to Phoenix, they hurried those off who were getting off and borded those getting on pretty quickly, only to get out to the runway and find out we were 25th in line for take off! Blah! Had to sit there for another 45 minutes. But, I am home now and it feels great!
While in L.A. I got a call from Houston and we get to meet with the BMT (Bone Marrow Transplant) Doctors starting January 31. So we will have another 3 day visit to Houston the week after next, then another 3 day visit 3 weeks later (for new scans). I will keep you all posted about that. I think I need to go to bed now! I am sure there are many typos here, but again, I don't feel like going back and correcting them. I am the run-on sentence queen also!! I just keep on typing! LOL. Hope it all makes SOME sense!
Take care and THANK YOU for all the prayers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
