Its been a busy few days getting ready for the trip home so my mom hasn't had the time to post, here is the short version of the weekend.

Suzanne arrived last Thursday night in Reno. She spent much of Friday with dad. This was mom's errand day making sure the hospital had the right addresses to send records, gathering records to bring, prescriptions, etc. John (his brother) was in San Francisco, he drove out Saturday night to visit and stayed until Sunday. Paul (his brother) flew out to Reno on Sunday. Suzanne went back to LA on Monday morning. Paul and my parents came back to PA on Monday.

The trip had some moments of uncertainty due to long delays on the first flight, but in the end they arrived in Philadelphia at 9:40pm only 40 minutes after the originally scheduled arrival. Dad handled it like a champ, anxious like normal, but very well.

I’ve been talking to him on the phone over the last week or so. What I’ve mainly noticed is that every time I talk to him the conversations are more focused then the day before. It seems like the days of wild tangents are coming to a close. He is walking around very well now. Due to his greater mobility he is experiencing more pain from the broken bones then he was when I was out there.

The other major thing I’ve noticed will cause concern to all his biking friends... He is about 35 pounds lighter then before. So anyone he couldn’t beat up Wismer or the sprint to the bridge on Landisville Road; you better watch out.
