Hotel Day one

We have had a quiet day. TJ is really fatigued. We are having problems controlling his blood sugar- running too low- and don't really understand why that is the case. I did a grocery store run today so we have appropriate snacks to take care of it. I went to the Big C- like a Walmart super center.

We are working with the travel assist company to arrange flights back to the US. The hospital did not send all of TJ's meds home with him so I called this morning and they sent a messenger this afternoon. Between the Travel Assist and the hospital it all seems very complicated, but it is all getting done!

The hotel is lovely and restful. Chip and I just had a light supper by the pool and had it all to ourselves. The food definitely tops the hospital cafeteria. The staff had flowers sent to the room after TJ got here- they are so thoughtful!

Jon made it to Knoxville in the 24 foot Ryder truck. I thought it would be a good opportunity to thin out junk from home, you know, just send it to Knoxville since he has such a long truck. Too bad I was not home...

Not much else to report for now. Please keep up the praying for healing, rest, and smooth travels.

Blessings!

Whatever happened with the insulin pump? Did the dr. discharge TJ with it or is it still banned?

TJ, MA, & Chip,
May your few days at the hotel be restful and restoring!! Praying for you that God's blessings will overflow and cover all of the "little stuff" that is causing strain and frustration. May TJ's blood sugar get under control now!!
Love to you both,
Paula
Praise God for Jon's safe trip!!
