Update from the Home Front

In an effort to disseminate information, I'll try to fill you all in on what's going on in Reno.....as best I can!

Today I've spoken with Aunt Phyllis and Aunt June.

Aunt Phyl filled me in on what happened today at Carol's house. She is in bed and comfortable, but quite dopey and sleeps a lot. When she is awake, though, she is in full command!!! She called everyone into her room and said, "Let's have a meeting". She went on to grill everyone to determine where everyone's staying and how the accommodations are, etc.....isn't that soooo CAROL? How cute she is!

Aunt June broke down when she arrived, but has rallied and sounds emotionally strong. Lois is arriving tonight, so Carol will have her family and friends all around her. It sounds like a bunch of people are there.... lots of chatter and commotion in the background. I could hear Fred barking, too! Exactly how it should be.

For those of us who can't be in Reno: If you feel a bit of guilt, like I do.......try not to. After speaking to my aunts, I realize that things are unfolding just the way they should.

Keep strong for Carol.

Love,
Ellen

HI Ellen,
I am so glad you are keeping us posted. I talked to Mom soon after she and Leslie arrived. It is a very emotional scene at Carol's. Even though I cannot be there as well, I have a peace of mind that other members of our family are there.

Love,
Mary
