They're in!!

It's been a long week of getting things ready for the move, the actual move yesterday and unpacking boxes today, but Mom and Dad are about 80% settled in their new home!  They even spent their first night there last night and rested well!  Praise God!!!  They are both very pleased with the way their furniture fit and with the layout of the house.  OF course, it will take a while for it to feel like home, but they are happy and that's all that matters.

Mom has another doctor's appointment Monday, this time with the pulmonary specialist that came very highly recommended.  He is in the Seton network, so he already has had access to Mom's medical tests and reports, so he is ready to see her Monday.  Glenda sat with Mom today and filled out the lengthy medical history, so we are all set for the appointment. I will take her and will report back to you as soon as I know anything.  She isn't feeling well at all and spent most of today sitting on the couch, watching Jean, Glenda and I unpack boxes.  I am determined to get her back to her sweet self!  Prayers for her are greatly appreciated!

They already had visitors today!  Their next-door-neighbor came over to introduce herself and brought a plate of delicious cookies!  Becky works out of her home and told Mom and Dad to call her if there was anything she could help them with!  Later, my precious friend Kim Wagner came by with a house-warming gift and cake!  She cought them a birdhouse and a huge bag of bird seed!  Dad wanted me to hang it on the front porch immediately, but I explained that I didn't have the necessary hook and would hang it tomorrow.  He wanted it done today, but tomorrow will just have to do!!!

I plan on taking Mom to their new Church on Sunday, if she feels up to going.  Saint Vincent De Paul Church is about 12 minutes away.  I want to ride with her the first few times and make sure she finds it without any hitches!  It's so easy to get turned around when you're not used to driving in Austin.  A lot of the areas were not here when she and Dad lived here!

Gotta run but wanted to catch you up to date!  I'll talk to you after Monday's appointment!  Love, Sandi
