Today is the day we leave for Shands. Mom, Laurie and I will drive down this afternoon and get settled in. They start pre-op testing at 8:00 am tomorrow. We went to mom's yesterday afternoon for a swim and to return Daddy's car. I had new tires put on it and the girls, Doug and I washed it and waxed it for her. She was very excited. It had not been washed since before he passed away.

Mom and Laurie were packing and getting things settled to go. Joyce, Hayleigh and Hannah will keep the dogs while we are gone. Laurie is going to really miss the boys (the dogs...)

I will post again tonight after we get settled.....
