We made it!!!!

Thanks to tons of prayers on our behalf, some romantic nurses and doctors who wouldn't give up, and some Southwest Airline finessing, we made it to the wedding! We were scheduled to leave last Wednesday as I laid in the hospital bed. That was the low point--watching the clock tick past the takeoff time.
Boy could the hospital move fast when it wanted to! While they were busy doing that, Lon was checking out flights and rebooking, etc. We left Friday morning and had to pay only a small amount extra. Things are working!
My pride and strength are both sorely lacking, so I cheerfully used a wheelchatr in the airport. The plane was freezing, and luckily our friend who took us loaned me a warm blanket which I wrapped up in like a mummy. Same comment about pride here!
We flew into Baltimore--about a 40 minute drive to the hotel near the temple. All the kids were staying there. It was fun to see them, but there may have been a tear or two.
It's in the middle of the night (insomnia?)so the wedding details will be tomorrow.
