Joe is still in the hospital. Apparently his blood is just as stubborn as the rest of him. He has a clot down most of his left leg, which will take months to dissipate. In the interim they are trying to thin his blood, but for the last couple days it refused. It started to get better this morning, so they hope that he'll be able to leave by tomorrow. He has now spent more time in the hospital than I have.... At least he has been well fed. His sister and brothers have been bringing food the whole time he's been admitted, so he can't gripe too much about hospital food!
The good news is that the blood is finally responding to medication, the bad news is that he can't go to D.C. on Saturday. So now we start arguing with the airline about how much it will cost to postpone the trip for a couple weeks. The really good news is that we can choose to postpone the trip and still all go!
The girls are fine, Kate is still pretty tired. They had busy weekends with their cousins, birthday parties, and visiting dad a couple times in the hospital. They aren't allowed to stay long, since they get a little wild and I'm afraid they're going to rip out Joe's IV. That would be a bad thing....

Liz, I wish I could come and help!!! Oh, what else I can I say...except I'm praying for you all.
Love, Sue :)
Dear Liz & Joe, there shouldn't be an argument , hassle or added cost to postponing your DC trip if you offer up your blogsite address to an airline manager or PR person, or to a good human interest reporter in Minneapolis newspaper. We are all with you, every step of the way, including your trip. love, EC/JC
I love ec/jc's idea...hadn't ever thought of that. :)
Liz, what a roller coaster ride you've been on. Hope it has hit it's last loop and that you are on your way back up. It sounds like you could all really use a nice relaxing vacation. Hope Joe is able to come home soon.
Take care,
Janelle
