Another interesting day for the Wimmers family

First and foremost, the nurse from Boston emailed Jim that "Linda has nothing between her ears". That's code for the CT of the brain was clear, and I am good to go next week.

While were in Boston Sunday and Monday, Jim developed an abcess on his tailbone that got bigger and more painful as the days passed. (You can imagine what the plane ride home was like for him.) Anyway, he got it taken care of this morning at Christ Hospital with the help of yet another Good Samaritan/neighbor, Tom Andrews.

If this weren't excitement enough, Andrea called this afternoon and told us about her day trip to Bald Head Island, where as part of her job as Recreation Director for the City of Wilmington, she was taking some older women on a tour and a walk up the Lighthouse there. Near the top, one of the participants (a 79 year old woman) collapsed, and Andrea at first feared she was dead. Paramedics were called, confirmed that she wasn't (dead), but still took another hour to get her back down. The woman turned out to be fine after a trip to the hospital, but Andrea was obviously shaken by the ordeal.

Jim and Andrea then proceeded to argue over who had the worst day. At least Jim was able to take Vicodin.

We're hoping for a liitle less excitement as we get ready for the Real Trip to Boston next Monday.

Love to you all,
Linda

Mrs. Wimmers,

I wish for nothing but the best for you in your battle with cancer. My Mom called me the other day and informed me of your condition. You have demonstrated your physical, emotional, and, most importantly, spiritual strength to her over the years and I am confident these same strengths will empower you to win the battle.

You are in my prayers.
