Parental update II
Pops spent the night in the hospital. He got a couple new schunts (?). Carrie said he is already looking better as he is discharging all the built up fluid. Stay tuned.

Parental update
Hi all,
Last weekend I got to spend a day with the folks over in Spokane. Here is an update.
Pops (aka daddy) is having some serious leg problems causing swelling. He has to take medication to get rid of the water. He thinks it may be heart failure.
Mother: Stressed about getting them out of the house and getting the stuff taken care of. There is furniture that she want the east coast sisters to have, but doesn't know how to do it. You may want to call her if you are willing to pay to ship something or willing to go out there and haul something back.
She wants to eBay smaller stuff and I want to help her with that. I suggested she consider a professional estate sales person to come get things organized and take care of the bulk of it.
Mother finally got hearing aids! It is so much better. Molly and I made the Bionic Woman ear sound everytime she could hear us! (do-do-do-do)
Carrie's girls are growing like weeds.
Carrie and Molly agree that I have the "mother 60s do". What do you think? (Man i'm lookin' old......)
******************
Thank-you for the Christmas goodies. We love our washclothes!! Mike and I both received Cabela cards, too. Hannah, I don't know if you sent a box, but if so, it didn't arrive. We did get your cute card, though!
It was very low key for us. We didn't get gifts for each other, but we enjoyed our first Christmas together in 8 years. I took a nap and cooked a ham. Nice.
