Family Visits Before the BIG DAY

May 1st today. A new month that will undoubtedly be a memorable one for us. Let's hope it's in a good way.  April was very good to us in many ways. Both of our children & all five of our grandchildren made it down to visit us. The time spent together was precious, especially knowing what their daddy & pap is facing. We all savored the good days & the time we were able to spend together while Ray is feeling so well.

And so everyone is now gone back home to Indiana & we are are quietly passing the next few days as we wait for Ray's hospital admission on Sunday. I have learned how to flush his catheter lines daily so that we are not having to drive every day to the hospital to have it done. It isn't nearly as bad as I thought it was going to be, thankfully. Just call me "Nurse Good-body". I'm doing things that I never dreamt I'd ever be doing. Just goes to show that we never know what's down the road.

Now to share a few photos from this past month of our precious family! Love them all!
