We continue to choose the road less traveled. Our stories started in New York and Michigan. We took an detour to New Jersey, and had a most excellent adventure to Ethiopia. In July, 2013 we moved our family from Detroit to Texas. People can say a lot about us, but they can't accuse us of being boring....

Dad's Still in the Hospital
I know he was having a hard time watching the Lions game yesterday, and I saw him a few times just listening to the TV broadcast. I think he was still able to enjoy it, but his eyesight must really be bad as he wasn't even making an attempt to watch it. He has a larger TV at home, so hopefully that will help when he gets out because that's his chief form of entertainment these days.
I haven't heard anything from him yet today, so I don't know if he'll be getting out or not. I'll plan on stopping by there later if I don't hear anything to see how he's doing.

Updates on Mom and Dad
The latest news on my Mom is that she has been doing pretty darn well. It sounds like the lung tumor has been reduced to nothing, and they're still treating the tumor on her adrenale gland with chemotherapy. She hasn't had this evaluated in a while, but I believe there is more news to come of that later this month. During the last weekend in August, a bunch of the family got together in Lake Luzerne, NY (near Lake George). It was a little rainy, but we sure managed to eat a lot and had fun getting caught up on each other's lives.
My Dad went back in the hospital over this past weekend. I guess his breathing got progressively worse during the week, and while he was going laundry Saturday night, he went back to his apartment, tripped and hurt his knee. He had trouble getting back up, and I think had some angina pain, and called for help. EMTs arrived and took him to Botsford Hospital. It sounds like he's got pneumonia in his right lung, and his sugar has gone wacky for some reason. It was 415 at the hospital Saturday night, but it was down to 190 yesterday with some insulin. It's unclear as to whether this is a temporary thing connected to the pneumonia, or if he might have to monitor his insulin going forward.
He seemed in pretty good spirits yesterday, but was tired. He's in a huge corner room in the hospital with 4 beds in one room. It settled down after a while, but when I was there yesterday, they had a new admission, and it was crazy in there for about 45 minutes while they got his medical history, weight, etc.
Please keep everyone in your thoughts and prayers.

Nate's 2
He even had money to go shopping at Toy's R Us (picture in the car) - like we'll ever get him one of those cars - we keep telling him - no way kid. Not even Nonnie or Papa will get one of those (I think I'd shoot them if they did).
Other than that - we had pictures taken yesterday - had issues with anything after 3 shots - so pacifier was in most. But we were able to get a picture with 4 generations, me, Nate, dad and Grandma. It will be nice.
Hope everyone is enjoying the summer
love,
Gail

E-mail-A-Friend: New organ arrives at Ilion Presbyterian Church

Story:
New organ arrives at Ilion Presbyterian Church
ILION - After six years of painstaking planning, the Ilion Presbyterian Church is finally on the verge of having a new organ.
The Ilion Presbyterian Church, on Second Street, has been using the same organ since 1913. With age and avid use, that instrument slowly deteriorated until, as the Rev. Victor McKusick said, it became unusable.
