Well, it is now 3:55. Jerry has been on the road about half an hour. His driver, Iggy and Nurse Carla arrived at the hospital at 2:30. They swooped up to the third floor and immediately began battling the nurses for Jerry's comfort and medication since he will pretty much be laying on a gurney for the long ride. Needless to say, the nurses caved and Carla scored bigtime for my dad. As they wheeled him out of the hospital, he commented about being outside for the first time in over a month. And as they loaded him into the ambulance he raised his arms triumphantly and smiled. Iggy made sure to clear a space for him on a shelf to put his water bottle, phone and personal things for the trip. Mom and I said goodbye..it was so difficult to finally see him leave, but we will see him again soon in a much better surrounding with superior care. He should be arriving into his new room around 11pm.

Jerry & Kathy-
You have been on my mind quite a bit lately--I am still in your corner, praying that everything "comes up roses" for both of you. I am praying that SLC is "just what you need" so you & Kathy can get on with your lives-miss you very much & hoping for the very best.
love ya lots,
