And we're off!

It is 7:25am and we've just hooked up the RV. We will now wake up PaPa to tell him "bye", then head to Salida, CO.

PaPa isn't doing so well. Beth had to call the hospice nurse to come out yesterday because he was running a slight fever and was coughing. His oxygen level was at 80, so she called the doctor to get some oxygen ordered and an antibiotic. We hope the oxygen will help with his motor skills as well. He really can't help at all in getting up and into the wheelchair. He has no strength whatsoever. Beth ordered a bed alarm so she can tell when he's trying to get out of the bed at night. She's also convinced him to use the urinal as well. He fell twice during the night Thursday trying to get to go to the bathroom.

I will try to update this blog when we get to Co. I hope we can get wireless internet there.

Love to all of you!
