I'm here . . .

and yes, it was as long a drive as I thought it would be. Florida is cold too, but not like NC.

The good news is they moved dad out of ICU today. The bad news is he is still slightly confused with slurred speech, very pale, and has lost weight. Since I'm the only one who can even partially understand him, I have to be there throughout the majority of the day making sure he is as comfortable as possible. Your prayers and good wishes, as always, are greatly appreciated.

In stitches, . . .

So glad you arrived safely, and that your DD is some better. Sounds like the circumstances are serious. I'll add him to my prayers list.
He looks so peaceful sitting in that chair with his Kitchensink quilt *VBS* Lovely pic. Hugs, Finn

My goodness, I'm sorry I've been gone and missed the initial need for prayers and support. But here I am and offering up the best I have to give.

Heartfelt love and support, *karendianne.
