Gustav.....

Here comes Gustav!

I have always told Mom that weather is more interesting here in Houston, TX than in California, and that I would much rather have Hurricanes to deal with than earthquakes and fires. As you may have heard, a hurricane is coming our way. You can track Gustav for yourself at our local news channel-http://www.click2houston.com/index.html Looks like we'll know more after the weekend is over. Could be interesting.

Mom is scheduled to start physical therapy on Tuesday. She continues to take a few steps here and there and took a big trip to Macy's yesterday to get some more "Texas Weather" clothes!

John Cash is in town on consulting business, and we're looking forward to having him over for dinner tonight. Mom has had fun thinking about the menu and even did the grocery shopping (with Ana's help, of course!) We continue to monitor her blood pressure (yes, mom is a proud owner of her very own cuff and machine), which has not yet fallen back down - so she requires blood pressure medicine two times/day. She has stopped taking the Ambien, though, and is sleeping, even napping, very well.

So besides barking dogs and a very whiny two year old (who is having a bit of trouble adjusting to her new school schedule), I think Mom is comfortable here for the moment. Getting stronger every day.
