Elisabeth and I left from John Wayne Airport for Stanford at 740pm and arrived at the hospital at about 10pm after dropping off our luggage at Bill & Beth’s, a hospitable family that live about a mile from the hospital.<\/p>\n
It was obviously hard leaving Jane; I begged for atleast the mommy to get on the medical plane, but they said they just can’t accommodate more weight — I didn’t know Elisabeth weighs that much, hmm.<\/p>\n
We waited til about 11pm, while the new team got Jane’s equipment ready for when she arrived, to hook her up quickly.<\/p>\n
We were told that we’d be up here approx 2-3 months, but that’s no promise; it could be longer, could be shorter. Nonetheless, we’re looking today and tomorrow for a place to stay long-term.<\/p>\n
Tuesday is the scheduled first surgery. The team is going over the xrays and echos to formulate a gameplan.<\/p>\n
I thought about it, and I have 4 goals while up here in Stanford:
\n1) Jane’s health to improve
\n2) Elisabeth to have comfortable home
\n3) work for me
\n4) Phil’z coffee (best I’ve ever had)<\/p>\n
About an hour ago, a complete stranger brought me mexican food and $200. She’s a friend of a friend of a friend. I can’t believe the graciousness we’re receiving. This is just an example of the helpful\/heartful people trying to lighten our load. Super-sized thank you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
