We're BACK! and, latest update on Greypa....

Hi everyone! We're back from our trip to Walt Disney World without Arlie- it just wasn't the same without her. Lots of pictures to come- it was a magical adventure- apparently 5 1/2 is the perfect age to go- who knew?

Dad is having his surgery this Friday. He sounds a bit better, but still uncomfortable and weak. The procedure he had on Monday was a colonoscopy and they were able to drain a lot of fluid from his system to ease the pressure and distended belly. Thankfully, it went well and he will be able to have laproscopic surgery on Friday which is what we were hoping for.

After Friday, it's unclear how long his recovery will be and where it will take place. I'll keep everyone posted as I learn more information. Mom is heading back to Baltimore (using her very early Christmas present of a GPS this time) tomorrow morning and again staying at Johnny and Michelle's house (thank you guys!!!).

Stay tuned for further developments.....
