Florida!!

This is mom again, I guess I'm not officially laid off yet! Cindy asked me to put an update on this morning, she hadn't found a computer at the motel.

Cindy's trip to Florida yesterday went very well. She flew Southwest and they took very good care of her, even brought her by wheelchair to a shuttle. She did feel the different pressure in the airplane and said it was a little uncomfortable but didn't get a headache. That has been a concern of all of us for a long time, didn't know what would happen or if she would be able to fly, and now we know, it worked!

Kyle had rented a scooter for her and that was at the hotel when she arrived. Kyle and the kids got to the hotel around noon and she got there around 5:00. Kyle and the kids also had a very good trip, thank goodness for car movie screens! They all got up early to beat the crowds this morning and were at one of the parks already around 8:00. Kyle and the kids were enjoying the rides and Cindy was just thoroughly enjoying the fact that she could even be there, she is still very emotional after all that has happened. She said the scooter is very comfortable and will be there with the rest of the family as she much as she can tolerate. She can always be at the motel also, so we are all thrilled that they can be together during this "Happy" time.

The biggest concern is her getting enough food and water while there. She did pack some stuff and they were going to try to get to a grocery store. She really needs to be eating all the time to keep up her strength. She had lost 6 more lbs after she came home, but the last couple days had been going better. Her body had become accustomed to being "fed" at night, and so she didn't even feel good when she got up, but that is also improving. Her cousin was really on top of her care - Thanks again so much Lynn for all you did for her- it was so greatly appreciated by all of us and especially Cindy!! Lynn also did a little shopping for Cindy before she left. She got her some size 1 shorts and they were still a little big on her. She needs to get some meat on those bones!!

Thanks again for all your support! We are also giving MUCH thanks for the Lord's healing and His faithfulness for answering the many prayers offered on Cindy's behalf.

Thanks, Kathy, for the update! Great news to read! Hope they are all having a great time. I'll bet she can't believe she is actually there and away from hospitals. Praying that improvements keep coming,daily, for Cindy.
