Our reservations are made and we are flying out in the morning for Norfolk. I talked to Regina (sons wife) and she has not been in to see him yet this morning. They were changing his dressings and she said, that takes about 3 hours so she has to wait till that is done to see him.

I don't know about internet access up there, I am on a local ISP here in La. but I will TRY to get on at least once a week or have my grandson update the family web sight for me from home so you can check in there for updates. (the link to that is in my "Home" thread) I am HOPING that the hospital will have wireless internet somewhere in it so I can use my laptop to connect and keep everyone posted but I am not expecting it..

I will be spending tonight at Rie Ries house and will get to see Chester and spend the night loving on my big boy! Then we will get up at dark thirty and head out to the airport.

I talked to dispatch yesterday and they told me not to worry, to take all the time I need. A replacement cook should arrive today from St. Louis so the job is ok.... and I slept real good last night.. I had been up for almost 24 solid hours so I crashed when I laid down..
