Did I Say One Day Away?
I Meant Friday,
But Who Really Knows...

We were informed this morning that June will not be going to St. Agnes House before Friday. The doctors just don't want to take any chances on releasing her early and having any complications like the last time.

Today has been a very good day for June. No nausea, no stomach distress and good physical activity. Mom has been able to eat quite a bit today without the normal ill effects she has been experiencing. I tell you this has been a leap in progress over the previous pattern of two steps forward and one step back.

June's sisters are coming up this weekend. For those of you who don't know, June has four sisters and you will find quite a similarity amongst them. I hope the nurses don't get confused about which one is supposed to be in the bed.

In celebration of this wonderful day, mother insisted that Ernie and I take a ride. Ernie was in bad need of a haircut so we found a place for him to get his haircut and had lunch outside the hospital. We went by The Last Genuine Leather Company, a store we had stopped by last time up here. The little guy that works there was very helpful with my inquiries into leather working. During conversation we had told Wayne of our reason for being in Lexington. Soon Ernie grew tired and took a seat. Just before we left Wayne walked up to Ernie and said "Give your wife one of these." It was a hug. Wayne who is short in stature, stood tall in compassion that day. Today we tracked down Wayne to the restaurant across the street from his store. Ernie went up to Wayne and said "My wife said to give you one of these." Ernie gave Wayne a hug right there in the restaurant. We sat and talked awhile and parted ways once again. We returned to the hospital and found mother was still doing well. This has been a great day!
