As I feared, the "waking up" was a false hope. There was apparently nothing conscious about it.

I spoke with my sister and BIL this morning. The extent of mom's injuries is more defined. The entire left side of her brain is dead, and a "midline shift" (means something to medical types) also occurred.

She will be moved into a hospice today or tomorrow. Her stay there is expected to be less than a week.

You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

[Corin Stormhands]

I'm sorry my FRiend. Prayers continue for you and your family during this time.

[snippy_about_it]

Sorry about the news. Hospice will take good care of her to the end. Prayers for you and your family.

It sounds like a wonderful trip. Great picture, alfa.

We thought of you and PE when this month's magazine came. There's a cool foxhole/RC article in it.

"About the Cover

Lt. Col. Alexander Jefferson with the Hangar 9 PTS Mustang that members of the Skymasters R/C Club of Michigan presented to him. The model was re-covered in the Red Tail scheme of the famed Tuskegee Airmen. Jefferson spoke to the club about the experiences he and his fellow Tuskegee Airmen had flying fighters in World War II. This issue contains the complete story of Lt. Col. Jefferson's heroic service and how he is once again taking to the skies piloting his own Mustang."

I'm off to CA late today or early tomorrow. Gotta say goodbye.

[Soaring Feather]

Prayers up for you and family.

Note on the pic from P-cola, I swiped it from somewhere I don't recall where.

I did not take a camera along as I have not figured out how the new camera I got for Christmas works all the way. Hopefully my kids can help me get the bells and whistles figured out before Mrs alfa6 and I make the spring road trip in May.

Thanks for the tip, I will have to look for the magazine.

Regards

Thanks for sharing your trip with us alfa6. Wish you could have made it up here. :-(

[snippy_about_it]

Hey girl. Hope all is well with you and yours.

We are at Interstate 40 and Continental Divide.

[Soaring Feather]

Okay, thanks for checking in, prayers up. Be safe.

[Professional Engineer]

We are in Barstow where gas is a "reasonable" 3.39 a gallon.

Reasonble compared to Needles that is.

[Soaring Feather]

Okay, good to know you all are safe on the road.

Msdrby and I waved hello to JimRob when we went through Fresno.

I’m here at the hospice now.
