I  just couldn't resist posting just a couple more pictures.  I showed Benjamin his Converse High Tops and he just lit up....probably thought "All right, mom and I are outta here".  He was alittle guarded but went for quite a walk (ok, maybe 25 feet, but this is the first walk with a big 'ol incision).  As you can see he wanted a ride back. 

The resident came around and I told him that things were going well enough that I thought we could probably go tomorrow.  They are very short of beds here, and in fact are having to divert patients to other hospitals.  He said he'd get the paperwork started, so just maybe it won't even take most of the day to be set free.  

The girls and I would love to make a short visit to the Harvest Moon Bazaar at church as it may be our only opportunity.  Then Molly and I are on tomorow evening for taking Krissy to see big brother in High School Musical 2.  It's actually his last dress rehearsal before opening on Friday, but taking her to a rehearsal is far more relaxing than going to a show.  The girl hasn't yet met a stage she can resist. 

Maybe our next post will be from home....Mom is doing night duty tonight, so hopefully Krissy will be settled.  I plan to sleep in a little longer than today, maybe heading to Gresham at 6am to get Kris up and on her bus.  She, as of the bus safety meeting yesterday, was approved for a bus buddy, so she'll always have an adult with her, which we believe will significantly reduce the risks to her and the rest of the world. 

Take care and thanks for praying us thru this recent, somewhat wearing leg of our journey. 

Love, janelle
