Welcome note

When my husband and I set out to find and take pictures of wheelchair accessible waterfalls in every U.S. state, we were excited about the challenge. We gave ourselves no time limit to accomplish our feat; however, we had one mutually agreed upon rule that dictated how long we would stay in any given area. That rule was to never shiver again. Needless to say, adhering to this rule presented a new challenge. The new challenge was to find a waterfall that was actually flowing. Visiting mid-west and eastern states during months that prevented us from shivering are the same months that are hot enough to dry up streams; hence, little or no water flow for waterfalls. The natural scenery and picturesque landscapes warrant a second visit in the early spring right after the snow melts.

Day 2 in ICU

t is more alert today. We are back to where we were two weeks ago. He will be getting a filter put into the blood vessel that leads to his lungs. He has blood clots in his legs, so should the blood clots break free, the filter will stop it from entering his lungs.

I forgot to mention yesterday, it was exactly one month ago at 2am that I found Bob on the bathroom floor at home. I received the call from the OHSU doctor at 2am that Bob was being readmitted to the ICU. (I found him on a Thursday at 2am; he was readmitted to the ICU on Thursday at 2am) Crazy.

Hi Jan,

We're praying for Bob's recovery from his latest setback. All of us in choir on Wednesday night were distressed to hear about the latest.

Our thoughts and prayers are with both of you,

Penny and Jim Cole

So 1 month from now you need to relax, take deep breaths, and everything will be fine.

Love You, can't wait to see you.
