Late Sunday Night

It sounds like Larry has continued to improved steadily each day. Today he got the last chest tube out so he is even a little more free. He's also no longer on any oxygen. They are continuing talks about when and how to bring him home. We will know more tomorrow but they are planning to work on the insurance tomorrow to see if they can get him on a medical jet in the next couple of days. If so, he'd probably go to Methodist for a while. We will certainly keep everyone posted.

Curtis and Nate were able to get into the Red Sox game today!! It sounds like Nate might have inherited his Dad and Grandpa's love of travel. They will be coming home late Monday night and hopefully, Larry and Peg won't be too far behind.

  5. We had bahamaritas in your honor last night. It was a nice birthday celebration too! Bahama Breeze was just a good as we remembered it. The last time we were there, you and Mom were with us, so we are anxious to repeat that! Katie is already making her birthday plans--so she can order a real bahamarita! We are hoping the plans for going westward move along quickly!

    Love, Tom, Carrie, Katie, Ian, Addie and Jamie

  7. Great News Larry & Peg,
    Hope all keeps going as scheduled. Cheryl, Mom & I went to NE yesterday and had a good visit w/Francie Bair - she sends her well wishes - she's 90 now! We had a raspberry malt and toasted your getting home at the EV Malt Shop.

    Love, Jeri

  8. Wow! What great news to hear of your continued progress. Heard via my brother in Mexico that Betsy visited you again and even with her experience at Mass General, she is so impressed with your progress. Keep up the great fight and thank God for the chance to get better.
