Well, we’re gearing up for a quick getaway to the mountains of North Carolina. This is an annual trip my father-in-law and his wife plan every summer, gathering the blended family for a few days in the mountains. What’s especially nice is that they cover our accommodations at the lodge, so that definitely makes it an affordable option, since we already did our beach vacation in June. It’s nice to get away for a bit, but I’m so caught up in everything going on at home, that it’s hard to leave town for a few days knowing that I should be at the house, packing for the big move and spending time with Mom. Oh, well.
Good news, though. Mom is scheduled for release next Friday and it looks like she’ll be going home with a walker rather than a wheelchair. She’s made some major progress in the last few weeks. She has another MRI today, so please send prayers her way that the MRI will show that the infection is no longer present in the brain. That way, she can have the PIC line removed and no longer need an IV, but rather take her meds orally. I’ve been so thankful for your many prayers along this crazy journey. I do believe that’s what has gotten us through this ordeal.
So, Mom's release is the same day that we close on our house - of course, because that's how my life seems to work these days. Believe me, I'm not complaining, it just seems that everything is happening at once and the stress is getting to me a bit. On second thought, maybe a mountain get-away is exactly what I need right now. :)
Enjoy the rest of your week, my friends. I'll be back and preparing for the craziness of a move. I bet you can't wait for the ramblings I'll post about that adventure!

Enjoy your mountain getaway! I'm glad to hear that your mother is doing better :).
Have fun in NC! I'm so happy to hear of your mom's continued improvement and upcoming release!
Sounds like a trip to the mountains is exactly what you need. We were in the NC mountains a few weeks ago for our annual extended family vacation. I blogged about it and posted some cute pictures too! Great week...
Oh, and great news on you mother!
oooooo have fun in the mountains! That sounds nice

Enjoy the mountains, when life resumes its crazy pace in KY, then you can recall a bit of your restful vacation--at least that's what I try to do! So glad to hear about your mom!
There is nothing quite like North Carolina, I run to Asheville whenever I need peace and quiet with no interruptions.
It is the perfect place to rejuvenate oneself and begin again.
It is lovely to know your mother is doing much better, I am sure everyone here will continue to pray for her and your family.
Have a lovely journey, cheers!
Breath in that mountain air and rest! So glad things are better for your mom.
