Jack's 3 bastard sons showed up!!

"I cannot even imagine where I would be today were it not for that handful of friends who have given me a heart full of joy. Let's face it, friends make life a lot more fun."--Charles R. Swindoll




Even though the pictures did not come out great - the visit was. These guys are nuts - it was one hell of a road trip but we sure loved seeing them!!

We got a delivery of all this oxygen equiptment last night about 10PM and everything worked great until we fell asleep and the very loud alarm kept going off. It was not a banner night however the tech came back first thing in the morning and switched out the machine (it was not something that I had missed!). Things seem like they are working so far and Gene, Lloyd and Phil even offered to go to the hardware store and get duct tape or gorrilla glue if Jack had a problem leaving the nasel piece in place!!
The guys did get him a new puzzle so that should distract him from pulling out the oxygen.
Jack is napping now from all of the day's excitement and tomorrow I get to bring him into the hospital to visit a nurse and the fellow on call - they did not want to release him for 3 days (another Monday holiday) without someone checking on him. Monday is cleaning day so I will have to take Jack for a car ride or something to let the girls come in and do their thing.

Hi Jack & Cheryl,

So very glad you're out of the hospital, but that O2 machine looks a little intimidating. Keep on breathin!

I didn't know you had any bastard sons. Who are they and where have you been hiding them?

Wes and I are going to see Holly and Lucy and Joe next weekend. We haven't been over to Boone since before Thanksgiving. I can't wait.

It was really great talking with you. You sounded much like your old self. What a relief. You're the only one who gets my jokes alot of the time. smile.

Take it easy, but breathe hard on the O2. Build up your strength and come on home to NC.l

Love,
Mary
