We finally made it out!



Well, it's been a few days since we've posted, but we wanted you to know that the doctor arrived in Amy's room last Thursday night about 10:45 p.m. We drove away from the hospital a little after midnight, and spent the night at my grandmother's house. On Friday we drove to Fresno, which was a bit of a challenge for Amy, but she made it OK. Bumps in the road and turns were especially difficult for her, so we tried to choose the smooth pavement! It took us 8 hours to get home because we needed to stop several times for long breaks, but we made it home at 7:30 p.m. Friday. On Saturday, we washed clothes and re-packed our suitcases and our car so that we could leave for our week of family camp at Redwood Christian Park, where we are now! Whew! Amy is doing very well, and is tolerating the oral pain medications without nausea. We are spacing the medication times out more and more, and they still seem to be effective. She is able to walk around the camp on her own for the most part. There is a golf cart "taxi" for those who need a little assistance, and the driver knows to be on the lookout for Amy when she needs a ride somewhere. The weather is perfect, the teaching is good, the fellowship is wonderful, camp staff cooks and cleans up, and we are enjoying relaxing here. Amy did a bit too much yesterday and missed dinner and the evening session in order to sleep, so we decided to stay at camp today instead of go to the beach with everyone else (Wednesday is beach day at camp). Megan, Amy's cousin, stayed at camp with us and we had a nice outing to Boulder Creek for lunch and looking around the shops for a little while. Then, back to camp for a nap!
Thanks to all who have been following this blog, praying, and sending best wishes our way. Amy will enter another post later today or tomorrow.
