While Scott is in Kenya, Luke and I are in Mt. Pleasant, Texas with my Grandparents. I thought it would be fun for us to give you updates on our status as well!

The last week has been eventful here in Mt. Pleasant. We started the week with both Grandmommi and Pappy in the hospital - Pappy on the third floor and Grandmommi on the 5th. Pappy came home a few days ago and Grandmommi was able to come home today, so we are thankful. Grandmommi is recovering well from both open-heart surgery and a broken hip. She is now able to do all the basic necessities of life without any assistance so that is a huge achievement!! She has really worked hard. Pappy has a couple of weeks downtime to rest and recover and then will go back to have some tests and a possible surgery to clear some blocks in his carotid arteries.

My Dad is here as well (Mom came out for a few days this week too!) so it is good to have time with him and to help him as he cares for his parents. We will be here until Scott gets back (Nov 3) and then we will drive back to Georgia together.

Luke is doing well - growing like crazy! He got a Johnny-Jump-Up this week and he loves his newfound freedom to move around upright. He is eating cereal, applesauce, pears, carrots and peas and LOVES it! He is smiley and a joy to be around. I am going to try to post pictures every couple of days to keep Scott and everyone else updated with him.

I'm doing well, just trying to pace myself and get enough rest.  I was considering going home early to get back to my doctor for some tests. However, they aren't able to fit me in next week so I decided to stay here and keep my regular appointment week after next.

That's the news from us, hope you are all doing well!

Love, Lisa & Luke
