Yes that's right Elliot,for the first time in your life, the Bengals actually won! And you know what? Before you're old and gray, they might even win another one if your lucky! Ok, maybe that's not what he was smiling about. Maybe he was just happy to see his Grandma again. Linda was feeling well enough to travel, so we got down to Wilmington this past weekend. It's not as easy anymore for a lot of reasons, not the least of which is the fact that they eliminated the direct flight, so it's now an 8 hour trip door to door. We also had power problems at the townhome for the second trip in a row, which meant we didn't get to sleep until 2:30 in the morning. The main purpose of the trip was to spend Elliot's first Halloween together. His costume was getting early rave reviews, so we wanted to see it in person. And we weren't disappointed-- he pegged the cuteness meter again.
So it didn't matter much that Elliot had no idea what was going on-- he was warm and comfortable, his parents and grandparents had a great time showing him around the neighborhood and eating the four pieces of candy he collected in his mini-bucket.The trip back was a marathon as well, since we were delayed out of Wilmington and missed our connection in Atlanta. (Like that's never happened to anyone before.) But we made it back late Monday, in time to vote today and make it to the blood test tomorrow. We will see Bhandari on Friday for the first time in a month. Btw, he had some very sad news of his own. While he was in India visiting with his parents, his father passed away unexpectedly. We talked with the nurses at the Bethesda ATC, and we're still trying to decide the best way to express our condolences and at the same time honor his father. Any suggestions?
Also we are anxious to get the results of the CT scan from last Tuesday. We will certainly hear no later than this Friday, and we'll let you know what we find out.
That's all for now.
Luv ya,
Linda and Jim

Hey, Linda. What a cutie grandson you have! I couldn't help but think what a blessing for your doctor to be with his father when he passed away. Regardless of race, gender, or religion, we have a solidarity as humans because we all have that final journey to make. I think all of us want to know we are not alone in any part of our journey, especially that last mysterious one. I don't know if that helps with your condolences, but just some thoughts. Praying for you as always, Becky Love ya!
Hi Linda!
I just loved the way you started out this past post. The story to Eli about the Bengals was so sweet. (the pic was perfect)
I (being a big football/panthers fan) have also been pulling for the Bengals in honor of you and Eli. So, I was among all the others of you pulling for the win! :) How exciting it was!
Anyway, I just wanted to send you some warm wishes from NC. Hope you are feeling well ;)

That is truly the cutest costume I've ever seen!! I will keep your doctor in my prayers. Perhaps a sincere note of sympathy would be best? I find that people usually appreciate the gesture itself most of all. I will be praying that the test results go well, thanks for keeping us updated!
Love ya!
Lora :)
