Hi all, I want to express my gratitude to everyone here, and thanks to Kanga for your special post. Things have been a bit hectic here. Scott is still in the hospital. Last week he developed a nasty abcess from his subcutaneous needle for his pain meds. They had to drain it and things seem to be ok now. He's on antibiotics for it. The docs are hoping to send him home Thurs.

Friday, my boss handed me the keys to his condo in Ocean City, MD and told (no demanded) that I take the kids there for a couple of days. Scott's parent's spent time with Scott at the hospital while the kids and I had a couple of fun filled days at the beach and boardwalk. It was great to get away. I just wish Scott could have been with us.

Well I better get going. The work really piles up when I take a couple of days off. I love you all!!

Love Linda (tanned and feeling better)

PS: LISA (Scouty) WOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOO!!!!!!

    It's great that you are having some positive things going on. Tell your boss that I nominate him boss of the year! That was great. A person that isn't a member of the semi-colons that is caring and wonderful. GREAT!
    Take care and remember how important it is to do for yourself and the kids.
    Take care and God bless you and yours.
    We LOVE you too.

    Linda...sweetie...all carers need a break sometime. When I was really crook I told Jen on the odd occasion to go on a gals day out with her girlfriend. Just so she could wind down...at least for a few hours. You need that too Linda and it is good to hear that you were able to free yourself for a while. Pass our love on to Scott...you are always thought of here.

    Hi ya Linda.

    How wonderful for you to get a little R & R. A tough thing to do right now. But I'll bet, very much needed.

    I'm sure Scott is really happy you went, too.

    Please let Scott know we are always thinking of him, as well you.

    Hugs and prayers are always surrounding you both.

    Love
