Field Trip #2

I arrived at Alta Bates just as they were moving mom from one ICU unit to another. She is now on the west side. (Mom is fine they are trying to consolidate beds or something.) She is in a quieter room in the corner. This corner room is small but has a fantastic view of the bay. Mom would like it if the window was clean. Though she did say beggars can't be choosers. She is already tired of the hospital food and sent us to Whole Foods for her dinner. Between the two field trips and a bit of physical therapy mom is exhausted. She enjoys hearing the posts on the blogs so keep them coming. More tomorrow when we hear from the Dr. about the MRI.

Hi Julia,
so glad to hear that you are doing better. Have a restful night after all the exhausting tests and moving around. We are very appreciative to your family for keeping us in the loop. All is well here but we miss you and hope you will not stay away too long.
We love you,
Harley and Ute

Julie, They have rescheduled me to a Thursday slot, consequently I will see you on Thursday. Rest is primary! I am delighted to learn you have already ventured away from the standard hospital fare. Having Whole Foods close by is a great convenience. Congratulations on your room with a view of the Golden Gate Bridge. Lots of love, Alice

Quite a day for you, Julia. Here's hoping you get a good night's rest in your quieter corner of the hospital.

This blogsite is such a great idea. Thanks for all the updates. We almost feel like we are there with you. We check here often, so value each posted update.

Hang in there, A&A you are doing a great job. Remember we are here for anything at anytime.

Julia, just so you know, my mother, Mollie is saying a rosary for you. She sends good wishes and regards from Mary Bernal, Mark's mother. Angella's Uncle Micheal asks about your condition every day. You are thought of my so many!! Stay strong.

Greetings, All! Glad to hear the news. Ah, Julia, a Room with a View! How very Virginia Woolf. And dinner from Whole Foods...who could ask for more. We think about you all the time, and are sending our love, support, and strength (what we have of it...) over the ethernet.
Lucy sends her love - woof, woof, woof.

Good morning, Julia,

Greetings from Honolulu and the University of Hawaii. Everybody here is very concerned about you but I assured them that you would be coming back soon to help solve all their problems with corporations and foundations.

We sure missed you in Geyserville this past weekend. Robbie was almost inconsolable that you were not there to play with him. He walked around all day Sunday with a stuffed toy in his mouth asking "where's Julia???"

Good luck on the MRI.

John
