Pre-Phoenix Update

The last couple of days has been absolutely nuts getting everything together to leave for Phoenix. Since we have to carry on liquid tube food, we had to jump through all kinds of medical and legal hoops to make it possible to load a plane with all we need to have.

John's son, Jeff left today. He was here for several days and it was wonderful. He and his dad had a lot of one on one time, Jeff is a great cook and likes to clean the kitchen afterward, he learned to tube feed John, helped him pack for the trip, mowed the yard and along with other things organized a file for me to have with all the necessary documents for the airlines, the hospital and the hotel.

We leave early in the morning. Debbie and Gary are taking us to the airport. Debbie called earlier to let us know that she had seen on the news that the front of the airport is torn up and we need to go even earlier than planned. They will be here at 7am. For those of you that know me well, this is not going to be easy to get up and ready by then.

With the front of the airport a mess, my metal knee, John in a wheelchair and liquids to be carried on to a plane, I am sure it will be quite an ordeal.

I will make this short, still have lots of packing to do. We don't know if we will be gone 3 days or 3 weeks.
