May 29th – Bend OR
We started out our morning with a good old hearty breakfast from Cracker Barrel. Thanks Mom and Dad! I was a little depressed getting up knowing we were suppose to be in San Fransisco today picking Donita up from the airport around noonish.

We talked to Donita today and though she is healing she is dealing with quite a bit of pain. One can all only imagine. She has been able to sit up 4 times which has been a good accomplishment though it causes her much pain. They decided neck surgery wasn’t needed. She has a few…
