Awake: approx 4:33am Temp 48 sleep 4+31 sunny overnight @ Pahrump, NV.
With no breakfast for Kathy & just coffee for me, we leave Pahrump @ 6:15am for the 9:00am non-stop Southwest Airline flight to Pittsburgh for Kathy. What a beautiful time of the morning for travel. Smooth & virtually an empty hwy nearly all the way….that is, until we enter the Las Vegas area. Terminal # (1) was very busy when we arrived @ 7:20am so we didn’t waste any time saying our goodbyes & love U’s & have a safe trip, etc. I was back in our motorhome by 8:40am. I make a quick call to G & R & let them know that Kathy is on her way.
I plan to keep busy during Kathy’s absence; there are many things on my “to do list” in & around the coach so this will be an opportune time to get them accomplished. 1st however, a cell phone call to my buddy Ray in Ocean Park, WA; we have quite a discussion relating to the type I diabetes. Ray is familiar with diabetes; he has been a borderline type II diabetic for over a yr & controls his glucose level with dieting. Ray also mentioned about Vancouver, WA having another tornado touch down in the Hazel Dale Area.
By mid afternoon, my file cabinet is cleansed thru April; a good start. Then I answer a call from my sister Corinne in Lilly, PA. We discuss Matthew’s diabetes & a little of what's happening @ the Children’s Hospital in Pittsburgh.
Dinner: leftover stuffed pepper & a mixed salad.
Kathy makes her 1st call @ 7:13pm pacific time from the Children’s Hospital: she was picked up by Kevin @ the Pittsburg Airport & the 1st thing he said to her was: “I’m so happy to see you!” Later she realized how important that greeting was meant to be; Melissa & Kevin have to attend mandatory classes together for several days, so they can fully understand what they are up against in caring for Matthew’s diabetes. She of course, will be a full time baby sitter during their class time & stay with Matthew during the night; thus giving Melissa & Kevin a chance to have a better night's sleep.
Kathy still has her cough & her voice crackled as she spoke but she was so delighted to be there & to give a helping hand starting tonight. We talked for a good (30) + min, then it was time to get Matthew to bed.
Tonight’s DVR movie: “I Vitelloni” with Alberto Sordi, Franco Interlenghi, Franco Fabrizi, Leopoldo Trieste. Magnificent comedy-drama & arguably Fellini’s masterpiece—about (5) shiftless male adolescents in a small Adriatic town who have to cope with emerging adulthood. 1953. Subtitles. Kathy missed a good one.
