What a ride!

Grandma and Laraine made a drive in the snow this morning to SLC to visit the dermatologist at the University of Utah. Grandma said he told her she is on the "right track"...Grandma reported tonight that she is questioning just how long this train ride is going to take!

This afternoon, the home nurse and physical therapists visited Grandma. Her blood tested a little thick, so the coumadin was started (again). Grandma reported that the physical therapist's visit was really helpful in loosening up her tight muscles. She feels like she is able to move better tonight than she did over the weekend. It sounds like it's been an "up" day compared to the "down" days she reported over the weekend. Grandma, maybe you're on a roller coaster, not a train!

Grandma is going for a CT scan tomorrow, but that's in Ogden, so she and Laraine won't have to brave the snowy roads for too many miles... We hope you have a good ride!

Grandpa Merlin is doing well too. I have to get there early to help him out or he has everything done up for himself:) He misses Grandma, but comments every day on how much he enjoys Gordon's visits. I wish we had a way to record the two of them secretly.

On another note, I'm thinking of dividing Grandma Kenna's big boston fern. Anybody want some starts from it? They won't be ready to adopt for a while, so if you'll let me know I'll make a try at starting one for you. jt
