Out of Signal Range

Good morning all.  This is their daughter Julia writing a quick explanation of the blog entry "gap" this weekend.  Lee's latest lung infection last week did not require a chest tube, so on Friday when they were preparing to release him from the hospital with an antibiotic IV, he asked the doctor permission to take that IV all the way to Vale for the weekend.  Permission was granted!!  So -- mom packed a few bags at the condo, picked him up at the hospital and then pointed the car straight towards their home in Vale.  They have enjoyed a brief, but wonderful stay in their home and will be heading back today in order to be settled in the condo in time for the 5:00 IV (now affectionally known as "it's 5:00 somewhere" drip).  Mom is anxious to write a full report about their weekend on the blog this evening.  Until then, this Labor Day weekend has been a great step in that long journey back home!
