Sad/Glad to Be Back in Kansas

We received some sad news last Thursday, that Brad's Grandma Gerry, who was on the road to recovery from her aneurysm, had suffered a stroke. The doctors are not expecting a recovery, and she is now in her final days.

She had really been making great progress - she was even able to go home last Tuesday. She is one strong lady - I guess you have to be to have 2 sets of twins!

We arrived back in Kansas on Saturday morning thanks to the kind people at American Airlines and a lot of shared airline miles. We are so thankful for the time we have been able to spend with Brad's family. Grandma Gerry has again surpassed all the doctor's expectations, but it is just a matter of time..... Brad has said that even though this time has been hard, it is a nice way to die; surrounded by your family and everyone that loves you.
