a road trip

Yesterday afternoon David headed to Portland, getting a ride with a friend, so he could visit his father who had surgery on Tuesday. David was feeling quite well, we set up plan A, B and C and mobilized our friends in Portland to help if necessary. David met up with his mother who is staying down there, was offered a cot to stay over at the hospital, and will be returning sometime today. Charles is doing fine and expects to be home within a few days.

For me, it's a good exercise in going with the flow. For David that means following his heart, and his heart was with Charles! Might as well be where our hearts are!

Also, David's friend Gary visited yesterday and David shared his current "strategy" with us. His plan is to take antibiotics if needed, and get a blood transfusion if needed, to help him stay alive until Lucretia's baby is born. Then he said he'll stop those things and "will probably die of pneumonia like most people with Multiple Myeloma." Gary and I both agreed that that sounded like a reasonable strategy. And it may change.
